I have been developing an application driving a device through COM. I
used win32com (brilliant )
and was at a fairly advanced stage being able to access the functions
of the device and access/ retrieve its data.
A week or two ago I did some overdue upgrading to all the components of
the application.win 32com, python to 2.4.4 and wxpy to latest.
Then the problem began (I think!).
My app still accesses the device and some functions still perform as
expected. Howeve some important data retrieval functions now behave
very differently.
Initially a tuple was returned, which was made into a list. This tuple
returned (true,'1234xyz' ), the first element was the success or failure
of the operation, the second the required data.
Now all these functions return only the boolean, True or False.
I cannot seem to produce the tuple that initially worked extremely
well.
eg. initially
xx.GetMACAddr(p aram1,param2) <-- params as per 'intellisense' would
return
(True,'123xyz')
now
xx.GetMACAddr(p aram1,param2) returns
True (type boolean)
I have exhausted my relative inexperience on this one.
Any Ideas BTW VB extracts the data just fine , so I dont think that
the Device or firmware is at fault here.
Python has been great so far, I trust this problem is an oversight on
my part.
Thanks in keen anticipation for any ideas to get over this one!!
I am in the middle of returning to Python 2.4.3 just to be sure that
this is not the issue.

Try running makepy on the object's typelib. It may have been done
for your previous version of python. Occasionally this can cause a
change in the number of return values if the library is doing something
non-standard.

This is a heads-up on a possible memory corruption type of bug in

My script was tiny - it just opens a MAPI/CDO session and traverses
the email folders - but it keeps crashing Python at random places.
After 2 days of trying everything without success, I've finally

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:

Hi,
Is it possible to create a com server in python and then access that
server using VB .NET, for example using the following code. A very
basic com server i found in a tutorial about win32com:

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