[python-win32] Hex/Dec problem with LCID

[Koen Van Herck]

There seems to be some hex/dec confusion with the LCID of the type library.
In the registry, I have a type library stored at
    \Typelib\{UUID}\1.5\409\win32
which, according to MSDN means the locale ID is 0x409 (English US)
(see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/automat/htm/chap2_89o9.asp)

However, when I run makepy.py, this number is interpreted as decimal 409 and
stored in a file named
    UUIDx409x1x5.py
This file contains a line
    LCID = 0x409
Which is correct. When trying to import the type library
(win32com.client.Dispatch), the code will look for a file
    UUIDx1033x1x5.py
which of course doesn't exist and the import fails.

Changing selecttlb.py as shown below seems to fix the problem (at least for
my case).
(This was with Win2K, Python 2.2, win32all-158)

Koen.

    key4 = win32api.RegOpenKey(key3, "%x\win32" % (lcid,)) # KVH fix
