Hello all,
I'm trying to do some COM automation from Python (using Mark
Hammond's Win32 extensions, of course) and I'm getting some very
strange errors. Specifically, I try to use a COM object that supports
events, and I'm instantiating it like this:
eventobj = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents( crtthread,
DebuggerThreadEvents )
When I try to do this, I get the following error:
....
File "d:\work\scripts\automation\autobuild.py", line 106, in
execute_one_file
eventobj = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents( crtthread,
DebuggerThreadEvents )
File "C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py",
line 264, in DispatchWithEvents
result_class = new.classobj("COMEventClass", (disp_class,
events_class, user_event_class), {"__setattr__" : _event_setattr_})
TypeError: str() takes at most 1 argument (3 given)
It seems that events_class's type is str ( as returned by
getevents() function in __init__.py file from win32com/Client
directory) instead of 'classobj' as it is supposed to be. event_class
is actually a simple string showing a CLSID. I'm new to COM and I
can't understand why this is happening. Please help me if you can.
Regards,
Bogdan Marinescu
