Hi,
I am using python with a makepy generated wrapper on a COM application. One
of this object's methods has 3 parameters, two of which are optional.
If I call the method with just the non-optional parameter, or all three
parameters, it works. If I call it with the first two parameters, I get the
following error:
(-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'Amphora.Sessio n.1', 'A bad
parameter was passed to the method', None, 0, -1610547133), None)
I have tried calling the method by using the names of the optional
parameters, and I have also tried using pythoncom.Missi ng and
pythoncom.Empty for the non essential parameter. I have also edited the
generated .py file so that it contains the following:
defaultNamedOpt Arg=pythoncom.E mpty
defaultNamedNot OptArg=pythonco m.Empty
defaultUnnamedA rg=pythoncom.Em pty
But this has not made any difference! Any help would be very much
appreciated.
Cheers,
Rane

Can you reproduce this problem with a "common" object, such as IE,
MSOffice, or a trivial VB object with sourcecode? The problem is that
it is up to each object to implement optional params, so it is very hard
to pinpoint bugs in win32com here.

I have discovered a couple of problems with the way the universal
gateway code handles optional parameters and variable argument lists
in COM servers.
It appears to only be a problem when you use the custom interface.
What I found was that variable argument lists are not detected at
all. Instead they are just converted from SAFEARRAYs to a Python
list.

I just picked up a copy of John Robbins' debugging book and started to look
at disassembled code. Anyway, I hate optional Parameters in VB, but I was
checking them out to see what IL is created. I've done this before with
Modules, and saw that <gasp> they behave just like sealed classes with only
static members.
Anyway, it looks like Optional Parameters are nothing but a way to tell the
compiler to write some overloads for you. So, in...

Hi guys,
In the past I have used several time optional parameters in my
function.
But Now I am more inclined to think that they are more dangerous than
useful, and probably better to be avoided.
I'd like to hear your various opinions on this matter.

This is more of a general question, but I didn't know where to post it. Since Java is an example of a language which does this, I thought here would work.
Coming from a C++ background, having used VBA/VB6 quite a bit, and a number of scripting languages with similar traits, like php, I had grown accustomed to optional parameters in my functions.
I recently found out that certain modern languages do not support these, namely Java and...

I noticed that in PEP 3105, the PEP about turning print to print(),
the syntax for print() is defined as follows:
def print(*args, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None)
Ignoring the fact that print is a reserved keyword in python, this is
not valid python because extra positional arguments (*args), cannot
come before optional parameters (sep=' ', end='\n', file=None).
File "<stdin>", line 1

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
