I've just uploaded build 203 of the pywin32/win32all extensions to
source-forge.
The release page is at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018&package_id=7906
3&release_id=274344
The change-log for the release is included below.
Please let me know if you have any problems, and thanks to all the
contributors for this release!
Mark.
* Phil Frantz contributed the start of an ISAPI framework - you can
now implement ISAPI filters and extensions in Python! (only for
Python 2.3 and later builds). See the installed Help file, or
see the site-packages\isapi\samples directory.
* Roger Upole fixed a number of security bugs, and allowed the security
modules to again be used on NT.
* David Bolen restored service functionality for Windows NT.
* The win32gui, win32security, and win32service modules all again work
on Windows NT.
* Roger Upole continued to enhance win32print.
* The command-line args for our service module now allow 'start' and 'stop'
to specify a '--wait' option - this will prevent the program terminating
until the service completely starts/stops.
* Support for CreateTypeLib2 contributed by Phil Rittenhouse.
* COM servers which specify a typelib to load now also provide this
type-info to the caller via GetTypeInfo.
* win32api.GetLongPathName() support unicode filenames longer than MAXPATH
* win32gui gets lots of new functions.
* New 'winxpgui' module - almost identical to win32gui, but has a
Windows XP manifest included, and a couple of extra functions not
supported by Windows NT (AnimateWindow, FlashWindowEx, etc)
* win32gui and win32com allow a 'logger' object to be set, so unhandled
exceptions are reported to it instead of to stderr.
* win32trace module and permon data modules now works in a terminal services
environment.
* Thanks to Enzhou Wang, the pythoncom/pywintypes .h and .lib files
are now installed.
* Add win32api.GetComputerNameEx() and win32api.GetComputerObjectName()
* ActiveDirectory interfaces get an upgrade and new samples.
* Fix a couple of potential buffer overflows for huge input strings.
* Fix a crash in the dbi/odbc modules.
* Pythonwin debugger should be less inclined to fill the registry with
garbage.
* source distribution should now be complete.
* setup_win32all.py now should build correctly for most people.
* Fix more installation errors.
And lots of other bug fixes and enhancements too numerous to list here!
