From mhammond at skippinet.com.au Mon May 2 03:59:10 2022 From: mhammond at skippinet.com.au (Mark Hammond) Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 17:59:10 +1000 Subject: [python-win32] [ANN] pywin32 build 304 released Message-ID: <8b489081-e055-7203-d923-c57e06b98f55@skippinet.com.au> Hi all, I'm happy to announce the release of pywin32 build 304. There are a number of changes in this release with the significant ones listed below. Note: * There are no .exe installers for 32-bit 3.10+ due to Python dropping support for bdist_wininst. * arm64 wheels for 3.10 and 3.11 64bit versions are available on pypi. Downloads are available at: https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/releases/tag/b304 and via pypi. For initial support (eg, to ask questions about the release etc), please contact this mailing-list (python-win32 at python.org). If you want to report a bug, please do so at https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues As always, thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, both in terms of code and reporting bugs - there were a number of new contributors which is great to see, Cheers, Mark. Changes: Since build 303: ---------------- * Fixed Unicode issues in the `dde` module (#1861, @markuskimius ) * Add `PRINTER_INFO_6` support for Set/GetPrinter (#1853, @CristiFati) * Fixed codepage/mojibake issues when non-ascii characters were included in COM exceptions raised by Python apps. This should be invisible, but might break any workarounds which were used, such as using specific encodings in these strings. (#1823, #1833) * Fixed a bug triggering `win32print.SetJob` to fail due to data type (`char*` / `wchar_t*`) mismatch (#1849, @CristiFati) * Fix eventlog initialization (#1845, #1846, @kxrob) From steven at manross.net Mon May 2 15:31:15 2022 From: steven at manross.net (Steven Manross) Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 19:31:15 +0000 Subject: [python-win32] [ANN] pywin32 build 304 released In-Reply-To: <8b489081-e055-7203-d923-c57e06b98f55@skippinet.com.au> References: <8b489081-e055-7203-d923-c57e06b98f55@skippinet.com.au> Message-ID: <7c2e3efde60d45728dbc3833910f8fb5@manross.net> Thanks for the new version!

In addition I would like to use pywebview to build a GUI. Behaviour of the shell listing the resource "My computer" is unexpected when I access the win32com functions through pywebview as it is not showing my iphone then. Here is a minimal working example (you may have to replace the String == "Dieser PC" according to the language of your windows): from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon from webview import create_window, start, windows class Api(): def listFoldersDieserPC(self): folder = shell.SHGetDesktopFolder() for item in folder: print("loop: ", folder.GetDisplayNameOf(item, shellcon.SHGDN_NORMAL)) if folder.GetDisplayNameOf(item, shellcon.SHGDN_NORMAL) == "Dieser PC": new_folder = folder.BindToObject(item, None, shell.IID_IShellFolder) break # list folders in Dieser PC/This Computer for item in new_folder: print("loop: ", new_folder.GetDisplayNameOf(item, shellcon.SHGDN_NORMAL)) api = Api() window = create_window('Test', 'index.html', js_api=api, min_size=(600, 450)) api.listFoldersDieserPC() print("now from the browser") start() With index.html: The first time I call the function api.listFoldersDieserPC directly from python, the second time through the button in the pywebview browser window. This is the output: loop: Dieser PC loop: Downloads loop: Bilder loop: Musik loop: Desktop loop: Dokumente loop: Videos loop: Apple iPhone loop: Local Disk (C:) now from the browser loop: Dieser PC loop: Downloads loop: Bilder loop: Musik loop: Desktop loop: Dokumente loop: Videos loop: Local Disk (C:) Process finished with exit code 0 It is the same, except that the folder for Apple iPhone is missing on the second go. Why is the shell behaving differently here? Is this a bug in win32com or is pywebview influencing it somehow? What can I do to make it work?

If you don't run your own server, then your pywebview app runs inside the browser's process, and that is a highly protected sandbox.? That's probably why you don't see external devices. -- Tim Roberts, timr at probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you are sure that Outlook will always be open when you run your python code (or this was an easy way to show an example), then it shouldn't be a problem, but I just wanted to make sure that wasn't throwing a wrench into the mix that you weren't thinking about. I'm using pywin32 v304 on Python 3.10 (x64) on Windows 10 x64 (21H2) with Outlook 2019 (not the Ofifce 365 version), and your code works fine for me so it's not a W10 thing or a v304 on W10 issue). I went as far as this code (slightly different at the end but basically the same): import win32com.client outlook = win32com.client.GetActiveObject('Outlook.Application').GetNamespace("MAPI") inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6).Items messages = list(inbox) for message in messages: print(message.Subject) ...and all was well. #snipped output start Backup Log: XXXXXXXXXX WSUS: Update Status Summary From XXXXXXXXXX WSUS: Update Status Summary From XXXXXXX #snipped output end Here's another possible problem: * the attached security warning popped up a few times while I was testing your code, and this could also be giving your python code issues (if the approve button isn?t pressed in X seconds or the deny button is pressed). Back in the day of Outlook 2003, there were ways to publish something to your Public Folders in a specific folder path to tell Outlook that it should allow programmatic access (no matter what) for user X or Group Y, but just remember, most of the Outlook Automation that people typically have seen is created by hackers, so Microsoft had to lock it down a lot, and as such, this type of warning shouldn't really be disabled except for maybe 1 - 5 minutes at a time by someone running the script who understands exactly what it's doing (and even then you are opening yourself to a security nightmare if that system gets a virus that tries to do some outlook automation). If you wanted to write a Macro, and sign it with a Code Signing Certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority we MIGHT be able to make something work, but the Outlook automation security is there for a reason and shouldn't be messed with (PLUS: I've never written a Python macro for Outlook). Note: you can change the Outlook security settings to run Signed Macros relatively easy without any security warnings popping up (provided your system trusts the CA supplying the Code Signing Certificate and the certificate is not expired, etc). I currently have some VBScript code that will move Mail messages to an Exchange public folder and write some data to my SpamAssassin server telling SpamAssassin that a mail is "Good" or "Bad" every time a message (or multiple messages) are selected and a macro button is pressed in the Outlook client (it stops working when I let my certificate expire ? ). I hope these points help you diagnose this problem further, and or give you more ideas on how to automate your task within the Outlook automation security framework.

You are trying to run the Excel application.? To do that, you have to have Excel installed on the machine where you're running. And, of course, nothing that uses Win32Com can ever work on Linux. If you're trying to manipulate Excel files, there are many cross-platform libraries to do that.? If you really need to RUN Excel, then it has to be on Windows, and you have to have Excel installed. -- Tim Roberts, timr at probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Can you produce a stand-alone console test case to run in this "container" rather than all the overhead of django? In fact, you are losing much of the real error traceback as it appears django is only showing the last call, and then dumps a second traceback because your framework errored. Until the test case runs in a console I'd avoid any web-based operations. Actually -- I'd avoid even the "container" system until the test case runs on a local desktop machine.

And Excel is also not a Linux application to my knowledge -- there may be a MacOS version available. I suspect you will need to find/use one of the Excel reader/writer packages that DOES NOT REQUIRE Excel to be present, only an .xls/.xlsx file (OpenPyXL ?). You will likely also need a package that can produce reports probably to PDF or HTML Reportlab appears to only generate PDF output -- okay for export/download, but not for inline display on a web page (of course, if you are using django, you should have a templating engine and should be able to code the web display report using it). -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed at ix.netcom.com http://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/ From vernondcole at gmail.com Thu May 19 08:40:56 2022 From: vernondcole at gmail.com (Vernon D.

Steven -----Original Message----- From: Steven Manross Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2022 6:28 PM To: python-win32 at python.org Subject: IIS ASP webpage issues with minimal pyscript Howdy, I have pywin32 ASP Scripts using Python 3.10.4 x64 (from Python.org) running on 2 servers. Both are Win Server 2016 with the most recent patches. I am using pywin32==304 One server runs pyscript in ASP fine, the other doesn?t (VBScript works fine both servers). This is the page I am trying to render in Classic ASP: <%@ LANGUAGE="Python"%> <% Response.Write('This is a test') %> Note: if I render that Classic ASP code on another server, it renders correctly. If I make my ASP page just this.... <%@ LANGUAGE="Python"%> No error appears, but obviously, I want to write something to the webpage, so sadly I have to debug this further. This is the browser error I get from Chrome: This site can?t be reached The webpage at https://whatever.manross.net/mypage.asp might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_UNEXPECTED In trying to debug this further, I found ?DebugDiagx64? (a Microsoft tool) in order to trace the specific application pool I am having problems with (and enable diagnostic data when the apppool/process dies). Here?s one of the trace analysis files it came up with (attached) and there were a total of 4 traces: * w3wp__debug-analysis.mht.txt (.txt was added in case MHT files are active content and stripped by anyone's servers). * Note: this analysis file renders in IE fine If you alter Internet Options -> Advanced -> Security -> Allow Active Content to run in files on My Computer (requires restart) to enabled * Iistrace-as-text.txt is just a text file where I pulled out some relevant data from the debugdiag analysis output presuming that not everyone has a windows system or wants to run that active content in a browser. What I?ve tried in debugging this: * run: python pyscript.py (and tried adding a --debug -- no errors on either running) * run: python pywin32_postinstall.py --install (no errors) * verified Application Pool does not have "Enable 32-bit Applications = True" (found out about that on the other server) * created a new application pool and assigned it to the site, and made sure that it behaved the same.. it does (both don?t work). * repaired the installation of Python 3.10.4 from "Add/Remove Programs" * removed python and reinstalled python after a clean reboot * iisreset.exe (stop/start IIS completely) * reboot server a few times * searching for answers on google for a few hours related to "App Pool crash" "Python" "Classic ASP" and more. * reading the documentation: https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/blob/main/README.md again just in case ? * searched for pywintypes*.* and didn?t find any different versions that I thought would be a problem (note: some Intel SSD software has one in its personal application directory for python 2.7) Python itself is behaving just fine, and can instantiate COM objects as I have been testing/building "CertificateAuthority" python modules on this server in prep for creating a web page. It's just when I start to make ASP pages that it goes crazy. If anyone has suggestions, I can do just about anything to this PC at any time (other than del /s /q c:\*.*) ? Thanks for your time.

I know almost nothing about certificate stores, but as luck would have it, someone did report some issues recently, so it turns out there is a PR that (a) tries to fix a couple of issues and (b) adds a test that adds certificates to the store - see https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/pull/1863, particularly test_win32crypt.py, which can hopefully be found at https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/pull/1863/files#diff-9f6fa3983d625ad71f59c9b4662dc07ea20602ffb5c3b1aa58e5e59fa759dff7 HTH, Mark On 27/05/2022 10:40 am, Steven Manross wrote: > Howdy, > > I am finishing up some work on requesting certificates from an internal Microsoft CA, and then importing the certs to the local windows certificate store, butd was having difficulty determining what function to use to import a Certificate with Private Key (P12/PFX) to a the computer's Certificate store.
