COM makepy problem

Alexander Eisenhuth

Hello together,

My system:
ActivePython 2.4.1
Windows XP

I write a COM Server in VC++ 6.0 using ATL. So far so good. While I
develop I got sometimes strange behaviour with makepy utility. Today
again. :-(

What I do on the python (COM client) side.
1) Register COM server
2) Use COM makepy utility
3) Create com client object using win32com.client .Dispatch(...)

The generated file in

c:\python24\lib \site-packages\win32c om\gen_py\{...} \I<interfaceNam e>.py

seem not work corectly.

From the traceback, when i do
myObj = win32com.client .Dispatch("<Pro gId>")
----------------------------------------------
[...]
__import__("win 32com.gen_py." + dir_name + "." + child)
File
"c:\Python24\li b\site-packages\win32c om\gen_py\D0BC1 B38-B4AC-480A-86B0-81
DA572765CDx0x1x 0\IDssInterface .py", line 125
IDssInterface_v tables_ = [dispatch_ = 1
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

file IDssInterface.p y (starting at line 123)
--------------------------------------------
[...]
LCID = 0x0

IDssInterface_v tables_dispatch _ = 1
IDssInterface_v tables_ = [
[...]

Now I change the file IDssInterface.p y by hand to:
--------------------------------------------------
[...]
LCID = 0x0
IDssInterface_v tables_dispatch _ = 1
IDssInterface_v tables_ = [
[...]

and everything works fine !!!

Does anybody have a suggestion/idea/hint on that ???

Regards
Alexander

I've had the same problems; this pywin32 bug describes it:

I've found no way to avoid it except by downgrading to Python 2.4.

Do you know, where win32com looks for the COM-server class description
(that is generated wrong?)

makepy support for versioning

by: Jim Kerr | last post by:

Does makepy always respect versioning of interfaces? It appears as though makepy correctly handles versioning of objects you obtain directly, but not for objects you get via a function call. Here's a simple example to illustrate the point. I created the C++-based server for this example by pilfering some code in Andrew Troelsen's book on COM and ATL. car = Dispatch("ScriptibleCoCar.DualCoCar") person =...
