win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings() may also help.

I was going to say that it does not help, but then I found
win32file.GetDriveType

so for future reference, here is a solution that WorksForMe(tm)

>>> def IsMappedDrive(name):
...     allDrives = win32api.GetLogicalDriveStrings().split("\x00")
...     return name.upper() in [drive for drive in allDrives if
win32file.GetDriveType(drive) == win32file.DRIVE_REMOTE]

>>> IsMappedDrive("z:\\")
True
>>> IsMappedDrive("c:\\")
False



..so thanks for the pointer

Subject: [python-win32] coinitialize problem
Message-ID: <1120221389.42c538cd6290f@mail.globaltrack.com>



Hi,

I'm extending a Python application that uses several com objects and threads. 
The origional programmer set the main thread to multithreaded by doing this:
 * sys.coinit_flags = 0
 * import pythoncom
This is nessacary because otherwise a com (MapObjects2 from ESRI) can't run in 
a thread, but now I need to use another com object, which is running in a 
thread as well. This com object, made by one of our clients, needs to run in a 
single threading model. For some reason, these two com object won't work 
together in one application. MapObjects2 works when the coini_flags is set to 0 
but then the other com object isn't working and the other way around.

I've tried a lot of things to solve this:
 1) don't import pythoncom in the main thread
 -- set the mapobjects thread with coInitializeEx(COINIT_MULTITHREADED)
 -- set the other trhead with CoInitialize()
 2) tried the same things but then with initializing coinit in the mainthread 
with both models
 3) Made a some test programs, but I had always the same problems, except when 
I made 2 functions for the 2 com objects, and started them with beginthreadex 
(like described on page 626 from Mark Hammonds book Python programming on 
win32) and then coinitialize in the functions, but unfortunately, this is not 
an option in our main program

Strange enough, we use 2 other comobjects, adotable for mssql and a com object 
for sending smses, and these two are always working.

Can anyone help me with a solution? and maybe som examples?

Kind Regards,

Gijs

Um, surely

    def IsMappedDrive(name):
        return win32file.GetDriveType(name) == win32file.DRIVE_REMOTE

works, in that case...?

What do you mean exactly by "running in a thread"?  Do these objects run in
their own thread, or is there only a single thread that uses both objects?

It is critically important that any threads you create follow the COM rules
regarding marshalling of COM objects to other threads.  Not doing that can
cause strange results.  See below for more details.

They should be able to run together in the same process, but possibly not in
the same thread.  That's unusual though - most free-threaded applications
set their threading model to be "both" - meaning that if a single-threaded
apartment tries to use it, it can.

What is the exact error you get?

You should read appendix D (Threads), and specifically the information
regarding COM threading models.  It is very important you undertand COMs
threading model when trying to do these things.

What you may be able to do is spin up a new thread *just* to create the
free-threaded object - then use CoMarshalThreadInterfaceInStream() to
marshal it back to your main (single-threaded apartment) thread, and use it
from there.

Almost certainly because these objects are marked as supporting "both"
threading models, so don't care what apartment they are created from.

hmm.. well yes, (apart from the fact that GetDriveType expects just

I guess I should think before posting examples next time ;)

Subject: [python-win32] Activex call delivers only unicode string,
	but ASCII is needed
Message-ID: <5FBC042194FEC54C9EFEA97D1EA8B3680140E6CB@villsmail01.eu.thmulti.com>

Hi list,

I have the following code to call a LabVIEW VI via the Activex interface.
The string "strDataOut" holds the expected data result of the call .
Now I realized that the string coming back from the ActiveX call contains Unicode and that is fatal!
The string on the Python side should always be ASCII.
I found no way to convert them back, strDataOut.enocde() raises a exception when I try to convert to ASCII
 
Here?s the relevant code.

        intCmdcnt = 0;
        strDataOut = r""
        cluError = [False,0,""]
        cluSenseKey = [0,0,0]
        print "strDataOut = %r" % strDataOut
	
        arParNames  = ["intChannel","strCDB","strDataIn","intDirection", "intLength","cluError","cluSenseKey","intCmdcnt","strDataOut"] 
        arParVals   = [0, strCDB, strBuffer, intDataToHost,intBuffLen, cluError, cluSenseKey, intCmdcnt, strDataOut]

        retval = self.__refGenericATAPI.Call(arParNames, arParVals)   # call VI
        print retval

The printout:
strDataOut = ''
((u'intChannel', u'strCDB', u'strDataIn', u'intDirection', u'intLength', u'cluError', u'cluSenseKey', u'intCmdcnt', u'strDataOut'), (0, u'\xa8\x08\x00\x10\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x10\x00\x00', u'', 1, 16, (False, 0, u''), (0, 0, 0), 37, u'\x00\x00\x01\xbaD\xa5?\x14\x0c\xab\x01\u2030\xc3\xf8\x00\x00'))

Here?s another data example:

String on LabVIEW side :
	00 00 01 BA 44 A5 3F 14 0C AB 01 89 C3 F8 00 00
String on python side
	u'\x00\x00\x01\xbaD\xa5?\x14\x0c\xab\x01\u2030\xc3\xf8\x00\x00'

Any ideas ?


Thanks,
Martin

Subject: Outlook COM: how to create a MailItem from a .msg file


Hi all,
 
I've been writing some code to move some data into and out of Outlook
(2003 + Exchange 2003). I have some email .msg files on our file server,
and I can't seem to get them back into the Outlook object I need, ie a
MailItem. I've tried to use App.CopyFile() to (temporarily) put the file
in an OL folder. Problem is, however, this returns a DocumentItem and
not a MailItem.
 
Is there any way I could 'cast' this DItem into a MItem? Apparently, OL
treats it as any general document - which, btw, shows in the view, too;
it has another icon and you have to open it to view it). Or maybe
there's another way to open it; I really only need the object in memory.
Any ideas?
 
TIA,
g
 
 
 
PS: This may get double-posted due to some subscription issues I was
having earlier. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Message-ID: <23D83A07C60A0E47AD964F74DA96940102936F@mail.datasolid.de>

Hi,

I have a problem implementing a simple COM server AddIn which should satisfy a special COM interface
provided by an application I'm using.

The server application: CADdy.exe  =>  type library CADdy.tlb
The AddIn interface of CADdy.tlb: ICADdyAddIn

From
gencache.EnsureModule('{9C3BB401-114D-11D4-AC72-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2, bForDemand=True) # CADdy.tlb
I got
class ICADdyAddIn(DispatchBaseClass):
	"""ICADdyAddIn Interface"""
	CLSID = IID('{14F65AE1-4671-11D4-8B1A-00105A49278B}')
	coclass_clsid = None

	def Exit(self):
		"""method Exit"""
		return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(2, LCID, 1, (24, 0), (),)

	def Init(self, theCADdy=defaultNamedNotOptArg):
		"""method Init"""
		return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(1, LCID, 1, (24, 0), ((9, 1),),theCADdy
			)

	_prop_map_get_ = {
		"CLSID": (3, 2, (8, 0), (), "CLSID", None),
		"Description": (5, 2, (8, 0), (), "Description", None),
		"ProgId": (4, 2, (8, 0), (), "ProgId", None),
	}
	_prop_map_put_ = {
	}

My AddIn COM server Addin.py:
##
## Addin1.py - A very simple CADdy AddIn COM server
##
from win32com import universal
from win32com.client import gencache
import pythoncom
import sys

gencache.EnsureModule('{9C3BB401-114D-11D4-AC72-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2, bForDemand=True) # CADdy.tlb

universal.RegisterInterfaces('{9C3BB401-114D-11D4-AC72-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2, ['ICADdyAddIn'])

class AddIn1:
    _com_interfaces_ = ['ICADdyAddIn']
    _public_methods_ = []
    _reg_clsctx_ = pythoncom.CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER
    _reg_clsid_ = "{AB6C657A-2C26-4BD0-ABB8-D777BC91F199}" # From pythoncom.CreateGuid()
    _reg_progid_ = "CADdyAddIn.PythonTest1"
    _reg_policy_spec_ = "win32com.server.policy.EventHandlerPolicy"

    def __init__(self):
        self.appHostApp = None    
    
    def Init(self, theCADdy):
        """method Init"""
        self.appHostApp = theCADdy
        
    def Exit(self):
        """method Exit"""
        self.appHostApp = None

    def getCLSID(self):
        return _reg_clsid_
        
    def getProgId(self):
        return _reg_progid_
        
    def getDescription(self):
        return "CADdy++ CADdyAddIn.PythonTest1"
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    import win32com.server.register
    win32com.server.register.UseCommandLine(AddIn1)

This won't work! I can't start this COM server from my application.

First some questions: Do I have to write  _public_methods_ = ['Init', 'Exit'] in order to satisfy the required interface ICADdyAddIn?
How do I handle the properties from ICADdyAddIn
	_prop_map_get_ = {
		"CLSID": (3, 2, (8, 0), (), "CLSID", None),
		"Description": (5, 2, (8, 0), (), "Description", None),
		"ProgId": (4, 2, (8, 0), (), "ProgId", None),
	}
correctly? Do have to use _public_attrs_ and if so how do I use it correctly? I used the methods getCLSID, getProgId and getDescription
just to give it a try but they seem to be totaly wrong.

I used the excelAddIn.py demo as a start. However, is this the recommended way for writing a COM server addin?

I have to mention that I'm quite new to Python as well as to PythonCOM. So my questions may be quite naive,
but I would very much appreciate some help for this topic.

With best regards

Johannes

Hello,

within the win32-extensions under demo I found the pipetestservice.py and am 
developping my own services out of it.

With each development step I have to

stop the running service
remove the existing one
install the new one
start the service


of course, I can script that... but it still takes time.

Is there something quicker? a "fake service environment" in pure python or 
that like?

LabVIEW seems to use cp1252 encoding:

>>> s = u'\x00\x00\x01\xbaD\xa5?\x14\x0c\xab\x01\u2030\xc3\xf8\x00\x00'
 >>> s.encode('cp1252')
'\x00\x00\x01\xbaD\xa5?\x14\x0c\xab\x01\x89\xc3\xf8\x00\x00'

Does this string look familiar? :)

AFAIK, if you simply change some code in your service, there's no need
to remove and install it again (unless you change code that is registerd
with windows - the service name or such stuff).

I think you can start the service like this:

  pipetestservice.py debug

An additional advantage is that you can see printouts from the service
on the console, without even using the trace collector tool:

c:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\win32\Demos\service>pipeTestService.py debug
Debugging service PyPipeTestService - press Ctrl+C to stop.
Info 0x40001002 - The PyPipeTestService service has started.
 (here I hit ^C)
Stopping debug service.
Info 0x40001004 - The PyPipeTestService service has stopped after processing 0 connections.

c:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\win32\Demos\service>

That has been my experience; changing code in a service (with the 
exceptions noted by Thomas) does not require the service to be reinstalled.

No - but _public_methods_ must exist (ie, your code is fine)

IIRC you can either provide a simple attribute of that name, or a function
of that name for a "getter", and "Set{name}" as a setter.

eg, either:
  def __init__(self):
     ...
    self.Description = foo

or

  def Description(self):
       return "foo"

  def SetDescription(self, val):
      ...

FYI, that is implemented in win32com\server\policy.py

I believe not.

Yep.

You need to know how to debug Python COM objects.  Basically:
* Register your object with "--debug" on the command-line.
* Start Pythonwin and select Tools->Remote Trace Collector
* Restart the app which creates the object.

You should see every COM call (including low-level ones, such as
QueryInterface), and you should also see any exceptions generated by your
object.  This is likely to give you a much better insight into what is
happening.

Anyone knows why this happens?

Subject: [python-win32] Problems with XML COM server
Message-ID: <42CBA9AB.3020209@rawflow.com>

Hi,
   I have a simple COM server in python which parses an XML file via 
SAX, and I want to distribute it via py2exe as the target machines will 
not have python installed (and in some cases could not have it installed)

However I have tried several (recent) versions of py2exe, python itself 
and the various fixes suggested by various people in the past, but I 
still can't get it to work in any configuration using either python 
2.3.5/2.4.1 or py2exe 0.4.2/0.5.4 with Windows XP

Using python 2.3 and py2exe 0.4.2, a standalone EXE builds and works 
fine, but the COM server fails the --register command line with 'Cannot 
locate Python module win32com.server.localserver' while executing 
UseCommandLine()

Using python 2.4 and py2exe 0.5.4, the standalone executable fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "fred.py", line 39, in ?
     parser.parseFile(file(sys.argv[1]))
   File "xml\sax\drivers\drv_pyexpat.pyc", line 68, in parseFile
   File "xml\sax\drivers\drv_pyexpat.pyc", line 45, in startElement
 AttributeError: "module" object has no attribute "AttributeMap"

which no-one else seems to have had trouble with.

Using python 2.3 and py2exe 0.5.4, the py2exe setup stage fails with errors like:

'Cant find module linecache' 
'Cant find module xml'

and the parse stops with 'Cannot find parser' (not surprisingly) if I try to run the resulting executable.

Does anyone know of a combination that works?

Hi Mark,

unfortunately I do not make any progress. The trace collector gives me the 
following output.

Object with win32trace dispatcher created (object=None)
pythoncom error: Failed to call the universal dispatcher

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Programme\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\universal.py", line 
173, in dispatch
    retVal = ob._InvokeEx_(meth.dispid, 0, meth.invkind, args, None, None)
  File "C:\Programme\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\server\policy.py", 
line 330, in _InvokeEx_
    return self._invokeex_(dispid, lcid, wFlags, args, kwargs, 
serviceProvider)
  File "C:\Programme\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\server\policy.py", 
line 647, in _invokeex_
    return DesignatedWrapPolicy.c( self, dispid, lcid, wFlags, args, kwArgs, 
serviceProvider)
  File "C:\Programme\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\server\policy.py",

    raise COMException(scode=winerror.DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND) # not found
win32com.server.exception.COMException: (-2147352573, 'Mitglied nicht 
gefunden.', None, -1)

How can I see the values of the arguments passed to function ._InvokeEx_?

Below I added the 'AddIn1.py' server script and the script generated by 
gencache. Additionally,
I have added a properly working Visual Basic file 'Addin4.cls', which I used 
as a starting point
for my PythonCOM Addin1 test. Do you have any ideas what is going wrong 
here?
Is there any way to get the debugger stop in one of the _InvokeEx_ 
functions?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

With kind regards

Johannes

Do you have PyXML installed for Python 2.4, and not Python 2.3?  Maybe
this is the reason that the 2.4 build fails - but this is just a guess.

For the 'Cant find module linecache' (speculation again) please take a
look at this page:

http://adelux.c2a.fr/libre/howto/deployTwistedWindows/#bug-in-py2exe-0-5-4

You could try out a similar fix to the boot_com_servers.py script.

Hi, 

I am new to this too, but I tried using py2exe for packaging a COM server, 
and used a setup.py something like:

import mymodule 
opts = {
"py2exe": {
"includes": "encodings,encodings.*"
}
}
setup(com_server=["mymodule"], options=opts

and running this script I got comple of dll, pyd files and some exe file. I 
ignored the exe, registered the mymodule.dll using regsvr32 and was able to 
access it using COM clients.

Message-ID: <EAE7EABA1E4D064C85DF87167669890E02D312B9@bebru-exch1.eu.uis.unisys.com>

Hello,

 

I'm using python for years now, but it seems that going a bit too deep
for my poor knowledge. I know this is may-be not best place for such a
question, but I feel a bit disappointed right now.

 

I'm currently trying to write service in python (prototyping), this
service will, ideally, poll physical sensors (such as temperature
sensor, light sensor,...) to get range of values. I want to write it on
a Win32 platform. But, My problem is: I don't have any idea of the
necessary hardware and, never the less, I don't know which python/win32
module I will have to use in order to communicate with those sensor.
Will I have to buy a kind of controller for sensors? What kind? Is there
some normalization about that? Does some body Has any Idea where I could
start my investigations?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ludo

Have you had a look at the Python robotics toolkit?

http://emergent.brynmawr.edu/~dblank/pyro/

I'm not sure of the windows support but someone there might be able to help you.

Cheers,
Emlyn.

You will need to answer this question without considering Python - eg, how
would you talk to the hardware from *any* language.  I assume it depends on
the specific sensors.  Once you can answer that question, we can help you
apply the solution to Python - it is quite likely you would need to use the
ctypes module for this, but you need to answer that generic question first.

There are many different ways to connect sensors to personal computers, 
all the way from sophisticated sensors that have USB controllers built 
in, down to simple boards that are wired directly to pins on a parallel 
port.  You need to get your hardware settled before you start worrying 
about how to communicate.

Where are you getting the sensors?  Most of the places that supply 
sensors have interface kits as well.  B&B Electronics, Digikey, and 
Jameco are all electronic suppliers that have sensors and interface kits 
available.  You might do some web searches for robotics suppliers.

Yes, sadly the logging facilities of the "universal" code isn't as good as
the standard IDispatch code.  It would be nice to upgrade that.

For now you are probably limited to adding print statements to the relevant
code referenced in the traceback.  At the top of the traceback
(universal.py), the lines around the error are:

        ob._dispid_to_func_[meth.dispid] = meth.name
        retVal = ob._InvokeEx_(meth.dispid, 0, meth.invkind, args, None,
None)

printing meth.name should give you an indication.

It depends on your debugger - most have a way to break into the debugger by
having your code call some special function provided by the debugger.  You
could add a call to such a function in universal.py.

Actually, I discovered that such sensor can be mounted on a serial or
parralel port. I guess It should exists a python interface for one of
these port. I'm still wondering about protocols but I assume could write
some.

Hi Mark,

now I have made some progress! Using the win32traceutil worked well.

However the real essential part was the addition of the _typelib_guid_ 
variable
to the server class. Below, I have added the working example. Could you
confirm that this is the proper way of using the modules?

Two questions remains:
1.) The following code line seems to be unnecessary. The AddIn sever works 
without it as well. What is
the idea for this line? Do I need it?
universal.RegisterInterfaces('{9C3BB401-114D-11D4-AC72-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 
2, ['ICADdyAddIn'])

2.) Debugging the server gives me now the following lines in the trace debug 
window, which I don't understand. Can you explain what their
meaning is?
Object with win32trace dispatcher created (object=None)
in <Addin1.AddIn1 instance at 0x1F8B9DC8>._QueryInterface_ with unsupported 
IID IMarshal ({00000003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046})

Glad you spotted that - if you feel there is something I could add to the
docs or examples to make that error less likely in the future, please let me
know.

You will (probably!) find that line is needed when makepy has not been run
over the module (ie, delete your win32com\gen_py directory and try again).
It is similar to a gencache.EnsureModule call.  Please try it and let me
know if that is not true :)

The short version: it is recording every unsupported QueryInterface call
made on your (Python)COM object.

Longer: It means that something, somewhere is querying your object to see
what interfaces it supports.  Things like IMarshall are queried by COM
itself, whereas others will be called by your host application.  The ones
with names as well as IIDs are known by win32com - the ones with the IID
repeated twice are not known.  In many cases, the caller is quite prepared
for the object to not support the interface, so things continue as normal -
ie, in most cases they can be ignored - but in other cases can give you good
clues about what the host application is expecting of you.

> Thank you very much for your supporting help and time!!

My pleasure - I like to see people get this stuff working :)

For me a well written example with sufficient documentation works best.
Originally, I have had a bad time because our CADdy COM server has had a
intrinsically implementation error. After removing that I made good 
progress.
What is really important for me, is that the examples are correct and state 
of the art.
However, I'm unable to make a judgement for the given ones.

I do not have any problem with removing the cache directory. But I always 
run the

gencache.EnsureModule('{9C3BB401-114D-11D4-AC72-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2, 
bForDemand=True) # CADdy.tlb

statement to ensure at runtime the existence of the typelibrary wrapper
modules. Actually, I won't run makepy.py at all.

Thank you very much

Johannes

	file
Message-ID: <F1CAEA57CFC15F4591320107790C9DA61F04BE@bouwtech000.bouwtech.local>

Yes! I finally got it to work. I've written a VBscript which I'll call
from 
python. It uses Outlook.Redemption's SafeMailItem. No need to use IMAP
or 
whatever services.

Only weird thing is it doesn't put the msg in the Inbox, as I intended,
but 
in the Drafts folder. Well, never mind that, it's a temp object anyway.

Here's the code:

Dim sItem, oItem
Dim myDestBox, myNS, myOL

Set myOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNS = myOL.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set sItem = CreateObject("Redemption.SafeMailItem")

Set myDestBox = myNS.GetDefaultFolder(6)
Set oItem = myDestBox.Items.Add(0)

sItem.Item = oItem
sItem.Import 
"H:\Inhoud-iedereen\Inhoud-Guy\app\BBProject\data\test\Leemarchitect.msg
", 3
sItem.Save



Cheers,
g

Hi,

Any ideas?

Subject: [python-win32] reading linked excel spreadsheet
Message-ID: <20050710182940.3728.qmail@web54504.mail.yahoo.com>


I used EasyExcel class from 
Python Programming on Win32 by Mr. Hammond
to open an excel worksheet and read the data.
the excell is linked to another data feed (DDE).

it works fine on regular files but
when I try to getContiguousRange every hour for
example, it asks if I want to open the Excel worksheet
again.
I'd like to run this program unattended, I do not want
it to ask to open the file to update the data, just do
it automatically.

I tried to have the options ready from the Excel side
(automatic updates to links, lower security levels,
etc... ).
I'd like to automate this process so that it could do
it without having to attend to it.

there must be some command from Python to tell excell
to update the DDE and links and get results without
having excell to ask.
(or not having to open the sheet every time? or
soemthing)
I am missing something but dont know what it is.
must be soem VBA stuff or some command from the python
side to bypass the asking part.

Thanks for any help

Newt

Hi,
 
I have a COM server which is working fine on my development machine,
and I am trying to create a distributable using py2exe.
 
Setup.py file is something like this:

# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys

sys.argv.append("py2exe")

import mycomsvr
opts = {
    "py2exe": {
    "includes": "encodings,encodings.*"
    }
}
setup(com_server=["mycomsvr"], options=opts)


and it successfully creates the COM server, and i register it using
regsvr32.exe, and I can then win32com.client.Dispatch from python
command line on my machine.

But when I tranfer it to some other machine, i can not create an
inproc instance of it using win32com.client.dispatch, it gives me:

Subject: [python-win32] win32pipe and buffer size
Message-ID: <42D29324.2070307@netscape.net>

Hi All,

I try to automate a command line tool and have the problem that I can't 
read the stdout-pipe.
I think the reason is the tool doesn't flush the pipe so  it is first 
readable when the process was closed.
Can I set the buffer size of the stdout-pipe by win32pipe to force the 
tool to write to the pipe?

Is there a possibility to use win32file to get a low-level access to the 
pipes or some other solution to the problem?
I would be thankful for some hints and example code.

Has someone experiences with 'Excpect'-tools like ExcpectNT or Excpect 
from ActiveState? Could this be an easy solution for my problem?

Ciao,
   Frank

Have you tried standard subprocess module? It uses unbuffered i/o by default.

> I would be thankful for some hints and example code.

Hope this helps:

---- echo.py

import sys

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print 'echo>',
    print sys.stdin.readline()

---- caller.py

import subprocess

if __name__ == '__main__':
    child = subprocess.Popen(
        ['python', 'echo.py'],
        stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE
        )
    child.stdin.write('spam\n')
    print 'received:', child.stdout.readline()
    child.wait()

Thanks for the reply, but it seems I run into the same problem like 
before when I use the subprocess module.

I modified your example in the following way:

---- echo.py
import sys

if __name__ == '__main__':
    while 1:
        indata = sys.stdin.readline()
        if indata=='end\n': break
        sys.stdout.write( 'echo>'+indata)
        sys.stdout.flush() #!!!!!!!!!!!! don't work without

---- caller.py
import subprocess

if __name__ == '__main__':
    child = subprocess.Popen(
        ['python', 'echo.py'],
        stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE
        )
   
    i=1
    while i<10:
        child.stdin.write('spam'+str(i)+'\n')
        data = child.stdout.readline()   
        print data
        i+=1
   
    child.stdin.write('end\n')

Now the problem arises if I comment line 8 "sys.stdout.flush()" or 
replace line 7 and 8 by "print 'echo>'+indata"
The tool I try to automate has the same behavior.
But there must be a way to get the text that is printed by the tool.
Is it necessary to use more low-level access and in which way, 
win32file, etc... ?

Tschau,
     Frank

Try adding "-u" as an option to Python - this will force Python to reopen
stdout etc as unbuffered (ie, the problem is the client is buffering)

Try viewing your exe's dependencies with Microsoft's Dependency Walker
tool. You'lI see which dlls are required by exe and which of them are
missing. Latest version also has Profile mode, which lets you observe
dlls loaded dynamically at run-time. (You should do it at "the other
machine", not development machine.)

That is exactly the problem, but how can I get the text  which the 
buffering client prints to the screen?

The C++ Code looks like:
       
        printf ("1. Run Static  Tests contained in Sections 5  through 
9.\n");
        printf ("2. Run Dynamic Tests contained in Sections 10 through 
11.\n\n");
        printf ("Enter choice (1 or 2): ");
        scanf  ("%d", &nTestChoice);

If I use the program manually the stdout is displayed on the screen.

A solution would be to change the program, but I don't have the 
possibility to change it.
Is there an other way?

Tschau,
    Frank

Message-ID: <5.2.0.4.2.20050712095149.107eb630@blue-cove.com>

I had looked over the methods to list/kill processes on Win32, and could not (yet) find a "pure" Python way to do it that works on 9x, since I could not get win32pdhutil to work on 98.
So, I combined subprocess.py and pv.exe from
http://www.xmlsp.com/pview/PrcView.zip
and wrote a quick app to kill unauthorized process and compiled with py2exe.

Does anyone have a way to list/kill without the external process that works in all 9x and XP?

See the C FAQ on this topic: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q12.4.html

If the OS is buffering the output, perhaps a call to FlushFileBuffers (on 
the other end of the pipe) would help.
But if the buffering is at the C run-time library, I'm afraid there is 
nothing you could do to flush the output without rewriting the code or 
hacking the RTL DLLs.

To disable buffering on stdout, put any of these calls at the very 
beginning of the program:
setbuf(stdout, NULL)
or: setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0)

PDH will work for NT, 2000 and up. For Win95/98 you can enumerate processes 
using ToolHelp32: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q175030/

If you eventually craft a function for enumerating all processes which 
works on all platforms, would be nice if you could post it here...

I am using wmi  and win32api.

so it goes like  :

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()
        try:
            for p in c.Win32_Process ():
                if p.Name=="process.exe":
                    print "killing  " + str(p.ProcessId) + str(p.Name)
                    win32api.TerminateProcess(handle,-1)
                    win32api.CloseHandle(handle)


        except win32api.error:
             blablabla

Hope this helps ..

Cheers

seb

Subject: [python-win32] Task Scheduler
Message-ID: <20050714175035.1421.qmail@web51402.mail.yahoo.com>

Hello list,

I am having trouble working with the Windows XP Task
Scheduler.  I know this might not be exactly a
PythonWin32 question because as I searched the web for
clue on how I can control the Task Scheduler using
PythonWin32, nobody appears to know.  The one message
I found suggested using the CLI program schtasks.exe. 
The program with that program is that it prompts you
with questions like "Is this okay?" and unlike other
cls programs, it doesn't have a "shut-up" flag.

There is also a at.exe program which is suppose to
have been replaced by the schtasks.exe.  It's a lot
simpler then schtasks.exe and doesn't prompt you for
anything - it simply creates a simplified task object
in the Scheduler folder for you.  However, when the
time come to execute, nothing happens.

Does anybody know of any other way to interact with
the Scheduler?  Hopefully, this is something that can
be accessed from Pythonwin32, rather then through the
CLI programs.

Regards,

--
John

At.exe + subprocess module should be fine. Are you able to schedule
tasks with at.exe manually from command line? You may need to
double-check datetime format and "/interactive" switch.

I guess you can control it via ITaskScheduler COM interface:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/taskschd/taskschd/task_scheduler_start_page.asp
But calling at.exe is simpler IMO.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, at.exe is very simple but as I said, after the
object gets created, it doesn't run.

For example, I issued the CLI command:

at "12:30" /interactive "python.exe example.py"

where example.py is some sample Python program.

Well, 12:30 came and gone and nothing happened.

There's a taskscheduler module in Pywin32 that gives
you access to the Task Scheduler COM interfaces.
The scripts in \win32comext\taskscheduler\test have
some examples of how they're used.

Thank you, Roger, for pointing that out.  I tried the
test sample and it did create the scheduler object as
one would expect.

However, same as the at.exe attempt I did from CLI,
the object doesn't run when the time came.  I manually
requested "Run" and the task runs fine (with the
message dialog poping up).

I retried several times by playing around with the
settings (manually entering password and so forth) but
nothing worked.

Any clues?

Thanks,

You can use GetExitCode to return the reason it
couldn't start.  One thing to check is that the user
account it's running under has the log on as batch job
privilege.

Hi All,

I try to automate a command line tool and have the problem that I can't
read the stdout-pipe.
I think the reason is the tool doesn't flush the pipe so  it is first
readable when the process was closed.
Can I set the buffer size of the stdout-pipe by win32pipe to force the
tool to write to the pipe?

Is there a possibility to use win32file to get a low-level access to the
pipes or some other solution to the problem?
I would be thankful for some hints and example code.

Has someone experiences with 'Excpect'-tools like ExcpectNT or Excpect
from ActiveState? Could this be an easy solution for my problem?

Ciao,
    Frank

Message-ID: <20050715234930.40208.qmail@web53901.mail.yahoo.com>

I'm probably doing something very silly here, but 
I'm having trouble creating a COM from a Python 
program, and then using that COM object.  I've 
followed the steps in Chapter 5 of: 

 Python Programming on Win32

and in the article:  

http://pyzine.com/Issue007/index.html 
http://www.pyzine.com/Issue007/Section_Articles/article_PythonCOM.html?printit=1

It gives the appearance of creating the COM object, 
because when I run the script (from within 
PythonWin), I get this:  

  Registered: Nassco.TribonComDxComponent 

I can see it with REGEDIT:

  Nassco.TribonComDxComponent
     CLSID ->  (GUID from my _reg_clsid_ statement)

But when I try to run makepy (from the Tools 
menu inside the PythonWin IDE), I can't find the 
Text Library for it.  And my test program can't 
instantiate the class with a Dispatch call.  
(But that's probably because the makepy can't 
be run on it.)  

I'm probably doing something very silly here, 
but I've been looking at this for too long to 
see what that is.  
Would someone be able to give me a pointer on 
what I'm doing wrong?  

Thanks in advance.

The "problem" is that creating a COM object in Python does *not* create a
typelib.  Therefore, you are unable to run makepy for the object.  However,
simply creating the object and using it should work fine.

Subject: [python-win32] getting a list of internet explorer instances?
Message-ID: <5e183f3d0507191453543de8@mail.gmail.com>

I've seen some posts on launching internet explorer, but not one on
getting a list of running Internet Explorer instances.  I imagine this
is a 1-2 liner in pywin32-- any COM/win32all experts out there know
how to do this?

My goal is to write a script that can take a snapshot of the Internet
Explorer instances running on my machine, pull the urls, and save them
to a file.

Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Marcus

Does the process depends on its startup directory?
Runs under any user account?
Needs any privilege?
Is interactive? (use /interactive)

Gabriel,

If you have an installed copy of PythonWin32 running
under XP, you can try the sample app too and see if it
works for you.  It's in the
win32comext\taskscheduler\test directory.  Just
double-click on test_addtask.py.  On my system, the
object gets created but it doesn't run unless I do it
manually.

Regards,

Hi, list:

This is puzzling.  For the PythonWin32 based Word
script I developed, everything works fine on my
machine.  However, when I run the script on another
machine, it would fail whenever it comes across any of
the constants variables (such as, for example,
constants.wdLine, constants.wdStory, or any of them). 
I checked and rechecked and the machines are all
running the same version of Python (2.3) and same
versions of PythonWin32.

Anybody??

Thanks,

Regarding my previous message, here's sample code I am

These computers have same versions of Word, Python,
and Python-win32:

####
from win32com.client import Dispatch, constants

wordApp = Dispatch("Word.Application")

print constants.wdTextWrappingBreak
print constants.wdLine

wordApp.Quit()

Yes, that helps a lot!  Can you explain the ShellWindows class a
little more, or point me to a URL reference?

Also, for others interested in this problem, I found two recipes in
the Python cookbook:

For the constants to be available, you'll need to run makepy
on the machines your script will run on.
win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch will create the
generated file for an object if it doesn't already exist.

Roger,

Thank you for the reply.  Could you please elaborate a
little further.  I don't fully understand the message.

You said:

>For the constants to be available, you'll need to run
makepy on the machines your script will run on.

I tried to run makepy.py and a menu of "types" poped
up.   What should I be doing with that?   More
importantly, I didn't have to do that on my own
machine and everything has been working fine.  Why's
that?

>win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch will create 

Is that a class method I should invoke from my code? 
Or is that something I should be doing via an import
statement?  Or what exactly is that?

Thanks again,

Okay, Roger, I got it.  It's the Microsoft Word 11.0

Can anyone give me an example of the BLT expression

axis_configure('x', autorange = 0.0)

having an effect on a graph after min and max has been set once mnually.

The first default works fine cycling through many graph ranges but once 
the min and max have been set manually autorange does not help.

Thanks Terry

Subject: [python-win32] Registry Entries on a win32 install
Message-ID: <42E0E74F.2070402@cenix-bioscience.com>

Hello,

          We have an enterprise app running and I'd like to reduce 
maintenance efforts by loading third party packages from a central 
location.  One of the third party packages is win32, I'm looking to load 
this off the server however I need to determine if this is possible. The 
thing I need to determine is whether there are any registry entries that 
win32 is depending upon - does anyone know if that is the case or can I 
execute on files which are loading on the server?

    I'm aware of the PythonPath issues and will be working on that as well.

Cheers,

Neil

I have been using PythonPath to do something similar and it works very
well.  Just set your PythonPath to the shared directory.

Subject: [python-win32] Fetching network interface instance names
Message-ID: <951991EC-38DC-45DF-8269-EF1212753F4F@gmail.com>

Hi, I am querying win32pdh to fetch statistics from each network  
interface on the machine.  I am able to fetch the stats I need, using  
the code below, from each network interface, provided I already know  
the network interface instance name (eg: intf below).

My Q is: how can I programmatically find out what the network  
interface instance names are?

I can see the instance names manually from the GUI using  
win32pdhutil.browse() but that doesn't help my program do it.

 >>> intf = 'Intel[R] PRO_100 Network Connection - Packet Scheduler  
Miniport'
 >>> import win32pdh
 >>> hq = win32pdh.OpenQuery()
 >>> cp = win32pdh.MakeCounterPath( (None, 'Network Interface', intf,  
None, -1, 'Bytes Sent/sec') )
 >>> hc = win32pdh.AddCounter( hq, cp )
 >>> type,val = win32pdh.GetFormattedCounterValue( hc,  
win32pdh.PDH_FMT_LONG )
 >>> type
272696320
 >>> val
0

Cheers,

Except that they do not seem to work.... I have tried three so far, and
they all fail with object has no attribute errors...

Either that, or there is a significant difference with ActiveState &
standard
Python 2.4.1 with the Win32all extensions...  (I don't remember a
significant difference...
I have previously used ActivateState back in the v2.0 / v2.1 days...)

For example...

def windows_installed_software ( host_computer = "."):
    import win32com.client
    strComputer = host_computer
    objWMIService =
win32com.client.Dispatch("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
    objSWbemServices =
objWMIService.ConnectServer(strComputer,"root\cimv2")
    colItems = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Product")
    for objItem in colItems:
        print "Caption: ", objItem.Caption
        print "Description: ", objItem.Description
        print "Identifying Number: ", objItem.IdentifyingNumber
        print "Install Date: ", objItem.InstallDate
        print "Install Date 2: ", objItem.InstallDate2
        print "Install Location: ", objItem.InstallLocation
        print "Install State: ", objItem.InstallState
        print "Name: ", objItem.Name
        print "Package Cache: ", objItem.PackageCache
        print "SKU Number: ", objItem.SKUNumber
        print "Vendor: ", objItem.Vendor
        print "Version: ", objItem.Version

	They are obviously missing a step, because the colItems /
ExecQuerry is working, but
objItems does not have any of the Caption / Description, etc
variables....

	So there must be a missing step....

WorksForMe both 2.3.2 and 2.4.1  (ActiveState versions)
(actually I only tried the .Caption, but since you said that that also failed..)

Weird, must be a difference between ActiveState & Standard Python....

Hmmm....  I wonder what else is different...

Thanks Mark.  The "List Network Adapter Properties" script did the  
trick.  And it didn't need ActiveState Python to work, thankfully.

I would have preferred a solution that used win32pdh, and not  
win32com, just for consistency, but at least I get the results I'm  
after.

Cheers,
Chris

Really, really cool. It's a hug of a giant. 

But the sad thing: I quite randomly selected 4 different scripts out of that 
list, and not 1 worked ... they allways try to access attributes on 
COM-generated objects which are not available. Has anyone had some more 
positive experience?

I ran into the same issue.  I was unable to use the scripts, but
of course, according to the web page they were written using ActiveState
Python.

I am using Stock Python 2.4.1 with Win32all...

I spoke too soon.  Unfortunately the answers I get from COM are not  
compatible with win32pdh.  Example:

win32com tells me my network interface is called:
   "Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection"
But win32pdh calls it:
   "Intel[R] PRO_100 Network Connection - Packet Scheduler Miniport"

Notice the almost subtle "(R)" and "[R]" differences and "PRO/100" vs  
"PRO_100".  Nice and inconsistent!  Who knows why ... crazy Microsoft.

Anyway, further digging showed me that win32pdh can indeed tell me  
all the available instance names for the "Network Interface" object,  
exactly what I was looking for.

 >>> items, instances = win32pdh.EnumObjectItems(None, None, 'Network  
Interface', win32pdh.PERF_DETAIL_WIZARD)
 >>> items
['Bytes Total/sec', 'Packets/sec', 'Packets Received/sec', 'Packets  
Sent/sec', 'Current Bandwidth', 'Bytes Received/sec', 'Packets  
Received Unicast/sec', 'Packets Received Non-Unicast/sec', 'Packets  
Received Discarded', 'Packets Received Errors', 'Packets Received  
Unknown', 'Bytes Sent/sec', 'Packets Sent Unicast/sec', 'Packets Sent  
Non-Unicast/sec', 'Packets Outbound Discarded', 'Packets Outbound  
Errors', 'Output Queue Length']
 >>> instances
['ORiNOCO Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card - Packet Scheduler Miniport',  
'Intel[R] PRO_100 Network Connection - Packet Scheduler Miniport',  
'MS TCP Loopback interface']

instances is a list of network interface names that win32pdh can  
provide counters for, and items is a list of all the counters that  
can be provided.

Hope this helps others.

Cheers,
Chris

WMI properties work differently depending on whether you've created the
makepy generated file.  Delete everything in the folder
\win32com\gen_py and the above code should work.
You can also use win32com.client.dynamic.DumbDispatch
in place of win32com.client.Dispatch to explicitely avoid
using it.

You could enumerate the uninstall keys and see what "looks like" a Python 
installation...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\pywin32-py2.3
(I hope there is a better way)

Hello,

          Yeah the problem is that the place where the win32 files are 
sitting is not where the win32 package was installed (I can install it 
on my local box and dump it onto the server).

Cheers,

Neil

Subject: [python-win32] Monitoring CPU Usage
Message-ID: <ECOWS04MzsA65GVcERc00134cdb@smtp-out4.blueyonder.co.uk>

I'm trying to use Python to monitor CPU usage (simple percentage) on 
Windows 98.

First thoughts were to use win32pdh (code similar to 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2002-April/000347.html ), 
but pdh.dll is not available for Windows 98.

Second thought was to use WMI. WMI isn't native on 98, but it can be 
downloaded and installed. This seems to work, except that 
Win32_Processor "LoadPercentage" returns "None" when running under 
Windows 98.

from win32com.client import GetObject
wmi=GetObject('winmgmts:')
cpu=wmi.InstancesOf('Win32_Processor')
for x in cpu:
... do something with x.Properties_('LoadPercentage').Value

The basic function works, because it does successfully extract other 
data, such as "Name".

For reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=
/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_processor.asp

I'm running Python 2.4.1 with pywin32-204.

If as I suspect, the problem lies in partial WMI support under Windows 
98, does anyone have a better way of trying to extract CPU usage values?

Thanks,

Hi,
 I recently noticed that GetMessage and PeekMessage aren't wrapped in any of

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1246207&group_id=78018&atid=551954to

these
are missing?
 I really need these functions defined. My first thought was to add them 
myself, but I can't compile the code without MSVC++. Has anyone here 
attempted to compile win32all with MinGW? My experience so far indicates 
that it wouldn't compile with MinGW unless perhaps someone has some modified 
version of the distutils setup file.
 Thanks.

In build 205 and later, there will be a pywin32.version.txt file installed
into site-packages.  For 204 and earlier there is no real way of knowing
other than the uninstall registry key.

You could get a clue from the version number in win32com\client\genpy.py -
'makepy_version' generally has changed for all releases.  You would have to
use CVS to find the exact number for each release though.

As it turns out these have been added to win32gui (all except PeekMessage -
but I just added that).  Let me know the version of Python you are using and
I will mail you a new win32gui.

I can't answer the MinGW question as I have never used it - but would be
happy to accept patches to setup.py to make things work.

myself, but I can't compile the code without MSVC++.  Has anyone here
attempted to compile win32all with MinGW?  My experience so far indicates
that it wouldn't compile with MinGW unless perhaps someone has some modified
version of the distutils setup file.

Thanks.

Subject: [python-win32] OT: how to get function signature
Message-ID: <349edb3805072723381a099658@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, 

I was working on a dir like function that gives more information than the 
usual dir, but I am not satisfied with the way I get function arguments for 
callable members of an object. Take a look at it here: 
http://nerdierthanthou.nfshost.com/2005/07/mdir-for-python.html. I have seen 
PythonWin showing function arguments as tooltips, can anyone please let me 
know how to get it. 

TIA,

Subject: [python-win32] Inter Process Communication Troubles
Message-ID: <067FFD3D085A1E4B860486DD33A23DF8336BBB@vifs1.vif.intern>

hello!

I wrote a python parent script which starts a separate script in a new
process (under Windows XP Pro SP2, Python 2.4.1).  Through anonymous
pipes I have made a bidirectional communication to the child. I also
embedded the parent script in cpp and it works too! Now I have exported
the parent functions in a dll, but when I call the dll in visual basic
6, the client script does not start and I cannot communicate over the
pipes. When I use the dll in CPP it works too!. Perhaps you can help me
and can tell me  the problem why my program does not run in visual basic
6. 

Thank you! Regards, Michael lieschnegg

I embedded following code in the dll for creating the pipes and starting
the new process:

 

class master_interface:

    def __init__(self, iPort):

        command='C:\Programme\Python24\python.exe'
#win32api.GetModuleFileName(0)

        print command

        # security attributes for pipes

        sAttrs = win32security.SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES()

        sAttrs.bInheritHandle = 1

        # create pipes

        hStdin_r,  self.hStdin_w  = win32pipe.CreatePipe(sAttrs, 0)

        self.hStdout_r, hStdout_w = win32pipe.CreatePipe(sAttrs, 0)

        self.hStderr_r, hStderr_w = win32pipe.CreatePipe(sAttrs, 0)

        # set the info structure for the new process.

        StartupInfo = win32process.STARTUPINFO()

        StartupInfo.hStdInput  = hStdin_r

        StartupInfo.hStdError  = hStderr_w

        StartupInfo.dwFlags = win32process.STARTF_USESTDHANDLES

        # Create new output read handles and the input write handle. Set

        # the inheritance properties to FALSE. Otherwise, the child
inherits

        # these handles;

Message-ID: <20050729141153.38621.qmail@web25705.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>


Dear friends,

I?m hoping to receive some tips to my problem. At the moment I?m trying to implement a callback between Python and my C++-DLL.

My DLL calculates permanently some values and stores them in member-variables in one of the DLL-classes. 

There are some exported functions in my DLL for starting and ending the evaluating and for reading out of values from the member-variables of my DLL.

My wish is to implement my DLL in such a way that my Python-script witch I use for starting my DLL will receive a notice from my DLL to that time when the new values were calculated. I can call then my Python-Function for reading out the values from the DLL synchronized.

 

This is my DLL-header:

 

SOUNDPROCLIB_API int StartProcessing(int fSourceRec, int fNoiseRec, int fCrackRec, int fAudioOnRec, int fBeepRec, unsigned long ulTimeMS );

 

SOUNDPROCLIB_API int GetResults(unsigned long* ulHz, double* dNoise, int* bAudio, int* bCrackFlag, double* dSNR, int* bBeep);

 

SOUNDPROCLIB_API int EndProcessing(void);

 

So I want to call my GetResults function from Python only if my DLL ?tells? to my Python-Script ?do it?.

Here is my Python-DLL-wrapper:

 

from ctypes import*

import sys

 

            

class SoundProcLib(object):

    def __init__(self, library):

        self.library = library

        

        @cdecl(c_int, library, [c_int, c_int, c_int, c_int, c_int, c_ulong])

        def StartProcessing(f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, ul1):           

            if 0 == StartProcessing._api_(f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, ul1):

                raise WinError()

            return None

        self.StartProcessing = StartProcessing

 

        @cdecl(c_int, library, [POINTER(c_ulong), POINTER(c_double), POINTER(c_int), POINTER(c_int), POINTER(c_double), POINTER(c_int)])

        def GetResults():

            ulHz,dNoise,bAudio,bCrackFlag,dSNR,bBeep = c_ulong(), c_double(), c_int(), c_int(), c_double(), c_int()

            if 0 == GetResults._api_(byref(ulHz),byref(dNoise),byref(bAudio),byref(bCrackFlag),byref(dSNR),byref(bBeep)):

                raise WinError()

            return ulHz.value,dNoise.value,bAudio.value,bCrackFlag.value,dSNR.value,bBeep.value

        self.GetResults = GetResults

 

        @cdecl(c_int, library, [c_void_p])

        def EndProcessing():

            if 0 == EndProcessing._api_(None):

                raise WinError()

            return None

        self.EndProcessing = EndProcessing

 

        @cdecl(c_void_p, library, [c_void_p])

        def inittestcallback():

            if 0 == inittestcallback._api_(None):

                raise WinError()

            return None

        self.inittestcallback = inittestcallback

 

At the moment I started to implement my callback in such a way (I found it in a python-tutorial):

 

PyObject *ppyobjArgList;

PyObject *ppyobjResult;

 

static PyObject *my_callback = NULL;

static PyObject *my_set_callback(PyObject *dummy, PyObject *args)

{

    PyObject *result = NULL;

    PyObject *temp;

 

    if (PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O:set_callback", &temp)) {

        if (!PyCallable_Check(temp)) {

            PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "parameter must be callable");

            return NULL;

        }

        Py_XINCREF(temp);         /* Add a reference to new callback */

        Py_XDECREF(my_callback);  /* Dispose of previous callback */

        my_callback = temp;       /* Remember new callback */

        /* Boilerplate to return "None" */

        Py_INCREF(Py_None);

        result = Py_None;

 

        bPyCallBackFlag = true;

    }

    return result;

 

};

static PyMethodDef SoundMethods[] = {

    {"callback",  my_set_callback, METH_VARARGS,

     "Execute a callback."},

 

    {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}        /* Sentinel */

};

 

 

So I?m not sure how can I ?register? my_set_callback function in the already started Python-Interpreter and to ?explain? my DLL which Python-Function is to call when the new values in my DLL were calculated.

 

Thank you very much for your suggestions

Oleg

Message-ID: <15A1FDA26DAD524DA7A7AF77313EBA8F0F60D5C2@riv-excha5.echostar.com>

I have a script that changes user passwords, and it throws exceptions then
executing the SetPassword() or SetInfo() commands on a AD user account that
it does not have "set password" privileges on. To avoid the exception being
thrown, I would like to have the script check whether or not it has
permission to change the password before trying to change it ( make sense?
), but I cannot find any good documentation on this after a few hours of
Googling for it. 
 
Do anyone have guidance ( or better yet, an answer ) on figuring out how to
implement this. 
 
here is a small snippet of the code I have now :
 
 
      adsuser = getADSUser( trans.adspath )#Retrieve a copy of the users AD
Account
      if ( adsuser ):

         trans.pwdLastChanged1 = str( adsuser.PasswordLastChanged ) 
         error = NewPassword( trans  )
         if ( not error ):
            if (  validEmail( trans.email )  ):
               try:
                  print "new password is %s" % trans.password
                  adsuser.SetPassword( trans.password  ) 
                  #x=1
                  #adsuser.SetInfo()
                  print "Password change successful. %s"  % trans.username
               except pythoncom.com_error, error:
                  #print "Password change failed. for %s" % trans.username

               except Exception, error:
                  return "Set Password failure. General Error:%s" %
str(error)   
               try:
                  adsuser = None
                  adsuser = getADSUser( trans.adspath ) #Retrieve a copy of
the users AD Account
                  trans.pwdLastChanged2 = str( adsuser.PasswordLastChanged )

               except:
                  return "Password change verification failure - Unable to
retrieve PasswordLastChanged Timestamp after changing the password." % (
trans.pwdLastChanged1,trans.pwdLastChanged2 )
 
               if ( trans.pwdLastChanged1 == trans.pwdLastChanged2  ):
                   return "Password change verification failure -

               else:

                   return None

Hello John,

Why does it matter?

Why not just ignore the specific type of exception raised by an invalid 
SetPassword() or SetInfo() request as follows:

try:
   adsuser.SetPassword(trans.password)
   adsuser.SetInfo()
except <specific type of SetPassword exception to ignore goes here>:
   pass # or whatever
except <specific type of SetInfo exception to ignore goes here>:
   pass # or whatever
except Exception, details:
    pass # or take whatever action is desired

-- jv

Subject: [python-win32] Querying Password Change Privilege on an Activ	e
	Directory User Ac	count
Message-ID: <15A1FDA26DAD524DA7A7AF77313EBA8F0F60D5C5@riv-excha5.echostar.com>

It's mostly for testing purposes. The password change affect a few thousand
of our customers, so the group I wrote the script for wants to be able to
disable the SetPassword/SetInfo command to do a test run of the script and
see if it will encounter any permission/other problems before the
"Production" run kicks off. It's all about being proactive, and not having
anything happen that will come to the attention of upper management, who
will want to know why we are not being proactive instead of reactive. That
is, solving problems before they actually are problems, instead of reacting
to error messages after the fact. 

Plus, with an explicit message stating exactly why a password change would
fail, I won't get paged at home at 2am in the morning like I have for the
last three days. Instead they Windows admin can be paged to fix the any
permissions problems while I sleep. :)

Hello John,

Why does it matter?

Why not just ignore the specific type of exception raised by an invalid 
SetPassword() or SetInfo() request as follows:

try:
   adsuser.SetPassword(trans.password)
   adsuser.SetInfo()
except <specific type of SetPassword exception to ignore goes here>:
   pass # or whatever
except <specific type of SetInfo exception to ignore goes here>:
   pass # or whatever
except Exception, details:
    pass # or take whatever action is desired

-- jv

I'm not sure I understand your problem.  The tail of the code you posted
looks like a standard Python module - although you did not show the "module
init" code.  Assuming this was a normal module, Python code would be able to
say:

import foo
foo.callback(some_func)

Which is how my_set_callback will be called.  However, if you have no module
init code, there will be no entry point to the function.  How is your DLL
loaded by Python (or is it your DLL that loads Python?).
