win32com and IIS?

[Arad Rostampour]

Thanks for the quick reply...Here is a simpler example with debugging flags
on:

import win32com.client
ieweb = win32com.client.Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
ieweb.Navigate("http://www.hp.com")
print ieweb.Document.Body.innerText

Attribute Document not in cache
Getting property Id 0xcb from OLE object
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "d:\inetpub\scripts\news\news.py", line 252, in ?
    PrintHeader(form)
  File "d:\inetpub\scripts\news\news.py", line 234, in PrintHeader
    HandleMail(form)
  File "d:\inetpub\scripts\news\news.py", line 210, in HandleMail
    print ieweb.Document.Body.innertext
  File "f:\python\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 319, in __getattr__
    raise pythoncom.com_error, details
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147023169, 'The remote procedure call failed and
did not execute.', None, None)

Again, it works from the python interactive interpreter but does not work in
a cgi script under IIS.  It doesn't like getting ieweb.Busy either...Also,
are there any issues with running the COM interface not specifically as
myself or a specific user, but rather IUSR_machinename?  Is there any
special set-up besides the Script Map key that ties a .py file to python?

Thanks,
Arad
