[python-win32] Unexpected exception in gateway method 'AddTypeLib'with own Active Script Host

[Mark Hammond]

Could you try executing win32com\client\makepy.py as a script (eg, from a
cmd-prompt), then select the typelib from the list that will be displayed,
and see if it works there?  According to the traceback, win32com believes it
successfully generated the file, but then failed to locate it.

Mark.

'AddTypeLib'with own Active Script Host


  Hi,

  We are sometimes getting the error below when running a Python script in
our app.

  We are calling AddTypeLib on the IActiveScript interface.

  It always works with VB-scripts and sometimes fails with Python.

  What could be the problem?
