Future Warning with win32com code

I finally got around to start testing some of my old apps with Python
2.3. I've had no problems so far, but I did get one intriging
warning. The following is from the Python Command Line:

Python 2.3c1 (#44, Jul 18 2003, 14:32:36) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]
on win32
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.
import win32com.client
ie=win32com.cli ent.DispatchEx( 'InternetExplor er.Application. 1')
ie.Navigate('ht tp://webserver/SomePage.asp')
print ie.ReadyState D:\Py23\lib\sit e-packages\win32c om\client\dynam ic.py:446:
FutureWarning:
%u/%o/%x/%X of negative int will return a signed string in Python 2.4
and up
debug_attr_prin t("Getting property Id 0x%x from OLE object" %
retEntry.dispid )

4


The code works well, as can be seen by the returned result. But what
I want to know is what needs to be done to avoid any problems in the
future, with 2.4. Should I submit this to the Win32 extensions
project? Or is it so obvious that it will undoubtedly by resolved and
I shouldn't worry about it?

Hi I am trying to using a COM server I built in C++. I ran GenPy on my type library and I am able to instantiate objects from the server. What I can't figure out is how to create/use Record types from my COM server. I see them defined in my generated py file as a map RecordMap = { 'FormRecord': '{F6EBBC2A-E2D5-4921-A498-EA80AE851012}', 'ICD9Record': '{FA83723F-55F6-4D17-8309-A9D323A4FD01}', 'BrandRecord':...

I recently upgraded from ActivePython 2.2.2 to ActivePython 2.3.2 and I'm running into an issue importing the win32com.client module. Before installing the new version, I made sure to properly remove old version (as well as the mx libraries I had installed). I then installed the new version as a user with the Administrator role. I know I'm technically not supposed to install to a directory with a space in the name, but it worked fine for...

Hi, I've been going over the Quick Start to Client side COM and Python and many other sources, but cannot find an example that will get my com/ActiveX .ocx USB device driver imported. The Excel and Word examples run fine. win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") etc., but how does one know the ("<foo>.<bar>") to type in? Excel looks only vaguely like "Excel.Application" in the com browser.

Hello, I've installed Python 2.4 and the win32 extensions, using administrator rights, under Windows XP in "C:\Programme". As this is a directory without spaces I didn't expect any problems. But now I can't _use_ win32com as a normal user, because normal users can't write there: PythonWin 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) on win32.

Hi there, I am trying to launch a program called AmiBroker using the command: AB = win32com.client.Dispatch("Broker.Application") However, I have a dual-core CPU and would like to launch two instances of AmiBroker. I know it is possible to run two instances simultaneously since it is easy to do manually by double-clicking the AmiBroker.exe file twice. However, when I write two lines of code like this:

I'm curious as to why the difference between IDLE and pythonWin when using win32com. opening an excel file, i've attempted to grab the chart information out of the file. commands like co = ChartObjects(1) works in pythonWin but doesn't work in IDLE. however, on both co = chartobjects(1) works just fine.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
