Problem with new versions of win32all

[Mike Cannon]

I'm having a problem with the newer version of win32all and Python
2.3 with code that works fine on Python-2.2 (details below). Both
machines are Windows XP.

The code that breaks is derived from the venerable jet2sql.py cookbook
example. I added a routine that uses the daoEngine collection
"TableDefs" and indexes it with a string (the table name). That works
on Py-2.2/win32all-148 but not with Py-2.3/win32all-159.

Any help ?
Thanks in advance,

Mike


PS: I patched around this problem and the whole application seems fine
in the new environment now. But I'd still like to know the root cause.

================================================== ==========================

Code I added to jet2sql.py:
...
self.dtbs = daoEngine.OpenDatabase(infile)
...
...
252: def tableGetPrimaryKey (self, tblName):
253: tbl = self.dtbs.TableDefs [ tblName ] # <<<< This breaks.
254: return self.getPrimaryKey ( tbl )
...

================================================== ==========================

Traceback:
....
