win32com.client.constants - AttributeError

[kbperry]

On my machine, this runs fine, but when I try to run it on someone
elses machine it blows up with an attribute error:

<code>
import win32com.client, pythoncom

pythoncom.CoInitializeEx(pythoncom.COINIT_APARTMEN TTHREADED)
myWord = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch ("Word.Application")
myWord.Visible = True
myDoc = myWord.Documents.Open(FileName= "C:\Test.doc")
myDoc .SaveAs(FileName = "c:\Test.htm", FileFormat =
win32com.client.constants.wdFormatHTML)

myDoc.Saved=1
myWord.Quit ()

del myWord
pythoncom.CoUninitialize()
</code>

It's pretty simple code so I don't understand why it doesn't work. I
verified that he has the same pywin32 module as me (build 207) and the
same python version (2.4.2).

Any ideas?

The constants are only available if you've run makepy on the
Word object library.

Please help! Anyone else know?

There are a couple of different ways to run makepy.
Start Pythonwin, and from the menu select
Tools->Com Makepy Utility. You should see a list
of registered typelibs. Select "Microsoft Word x.y
Object Library" and hit Ok.
This can also be done programatically by initiating
Word with
win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Appl ication')
