I have asked concerning the db machine 32/64bit etc etc and whether the python 
software is running on 32/64 bit python.

More information about your program would be helpful. There are at least
three ways that connections to SQL Server might be obtained in Python. In
general, it would seem that the version of Python may have changed. The
bit-width of the SQL Server server should not affect a data client.

Turns out it was a DSN driver issue ie 32 vs 64 bit windows. After
prompting the client fixed the DSN and everything is now OK. Sorry for
the noise.

Subject: [python-win32] Python 3 - Windows Service
Message-ID: <5735AB42.9020403@free.fr>

Hi

I passed all this week to get a Python Windows Service running.
But, I failed....

I tried Windows 2003 and Windows 2012 R2.
I installed python 3.4.4 x86

I installed pypiwin32 with pip :
pip install pyinstaller

I tried many sample scripts found on Google.
I finally found sample scripts in 
C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\win32\Demos\service

I modified the servicesEvents.py script and simplified it :
________________________________________________________________________
import win32serviceutil, win32service
import win32event, win32api
import servicemanager
import time

import win32gui, win32gui_struct, win32con

class EventDemoService(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
     _svc_name_ = "PyServiceEventDemo"
     _svc_display_name_ = "Python Service Event Demo"
     _svc_description_ = "Demonstrates a Python service which takes 
advantage of the extra notifications"

     def __init__(self, args):
         win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args)
         self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None)
         self.running = True

     def SvcStop(self):
         self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING)
         win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop)
         self.running = False

     def SvcDoRun(self):
         self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_RUNNING)
         while self.running:
             servicemanager.LogInfoMsg("aservice - is alive and well")
             time.sleep(3)

def ctrlHandler(ctrlType):
     return True

if __name__=='__main__':
     win32api.SetConsoleCtrlHandler(ctrlHandler, True)
     win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(EventDemoService)
________________________________________________________________________

I get a 2186 error when starting it with cmd : net start PyServiceEventDemo
I get a 1053 error when starting it from the services manager.
I get these errors with this sample and others found from a Google search.

What is the status of Python3, pywin32 and Windows services ?
Can I enabled some trace to understand the problem ?
Could someone give me a working sample ?
Could someone point me to some interesting links ?

Thanks for your help !

David.

We need to see the exact error messages and their contexts. Post as text
since this list does not take attachments.

Hi

I received your empty message :)

pywintypes34.dll was missing for pythonservice.exe.
I copied the file in the same folder.
It works !

I was using the powershell console, that does not display the error 
message about the missing file.
cmd does.

Now, I'm trying to build the binary exe file with pyinstaller.
I get :
C:\temp>dist\sample-pyinstaller.exe install
Redirecting output to win32trace remote collector
Failed to execute script sample-pyinstaller

But this is another issue.....

David.

Message-ID: <PS1PR02MB1545DBB32133A3DC41D0BD04CF4E0@PS1PR02MB1545.apcprd02.prod.outlook.com>

Hi Mark,

Recently I'm working on the AutoCAD attribute extraction. When I install the pywin32 and write the code as follow:
Before into the code, I want to ask one question. If I wish to extract from dxf file can I use the same method as below?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import win32com.client
acad = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoCAD.Application")

ms = acad.ActiveDocument


for entity in acad.ActiveDocument.ModelSpace:
    name = entity.EntityName
    if name == 'AcDbBlockReference':
       HasAttributes = entity.HasAttributes
       if HasAttributes:
           print(entity.Name)
           print(entity.Layer)
           print(entity.ObjectID)
           for attrib in entity.GetAttributes():
               print("{}:{}".format(attrib.TagString, attrib.TextString))

               attrib.TextString='modified with python'
               arrtib.Update()

I encountered an error says :
==================== RESTART: F:\PHP\DXF_Data\Script4.py ====================
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\python3.5\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 89, in _GetGoodDispatch
    IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005,  'invalid string', None, None)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\PHP\DXF_Data\Script4.py", line 3, in <module>
    acad = win32com.client.Dispatch("__**AutoCAD.Application")
  File "E:\python3.5\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 95, in Dispatch
    dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx)
  File "E:\python3.5\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 114, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
    return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)
  File "E:\python3.5\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 91, in _GetGoodDispatch
    IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx, pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005, 'invalid string', None, None)
>>>

So I go back to the makeup.py to check if there is a autocad type library but  I didn't found it.

Can I get any suggestion from you?

Best Regards,

Will

So where did the __** come from?  Those are, indeed, invalid characters in a COM CLSID name.

Subject: [python-win32] Is IFileSystemBindData in pywin32 ?
Message-ID: <CABRG_PGHc4U0NNj80r=HcXMS5g6TXAfm6PB2Sk5OHwdqi7p1cw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi :)

Using latest version from sourceforge ( pywin32-220.win32-py2.7.exe ) and
trying to bend IFileOperation to my will - apparently if destination does
not exist we must pass a context with a IFileSystemBindData object with the
filename to stop windows from querying the file system for info on the non
existing destination.

See:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18576103/shparsedisplayname-when-path-doesnt-exists

But I can't seem to find any IID_IFileSystemBindData in shellcon ? Am I
looking in the wrong place ?

The code I am using to interface with IFileOperation is based on :

https://github.com/frmdstryr/pywinutils/blob/master/winutils.py

Thanks !
