[python-win32] Problem with gencache.EnsureModule

[Johannes Brunen]

Hi,

First, I'm new to this list as well as new to python/pythonCom.
I have tried to connect to a COM server installed on my machine
with this little script:

import win32com.client

from win32com.client import gencache

def main():
    gencache.EnsureModule('{9C3BB401-114D-11D4-AC72-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2)
    gencache.EnsureModule('{F6B548E2-1A91-11D4-AC7B-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2)
    gencache.EnsureModule('{2FF5212B-C12E-11D4-AD46-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2)
    gencache.EnsureModule('{9C3BB403-114D-11D4-AC72-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2)
    gencache.EnsureModule('{D5224AA1-0F95-11D4-AC6E-00105A4925FC}', 0, 1, 2)
    gencache.EnsureModule('{83273D63-C3B6-11D6-99B4-00105A492792}', 0, 1, 2)
    gencache.EnsureModule('{DA061171-5185-11D4-8B25-00105A49278B}', 0, 1, 2)

    theCADdy = win32com.client.Dispatch("CADdy.CADdy")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I have used makepy.py -i to get the guids of the registered type libraries. Running
this script yields

[C:/Development/Learn/Python/COM] Test2.py

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Is this a known problem?
I'm using the ActiveState Python 2.4.1.-245 build.

With  kind regards

Johannes
