Hi
I have python 2.5.1, pywin32 build 212
When using the makepy utility I noticed it used to crash out with the
following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py", line
391, in <module>
rc = main()
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py", line
370, in main
rc = selecttlb.SelectTlb()
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\selecttlb.py",
line 148, in SelectTlb
i.major = int(i.major, 16)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 16: 'CS2'
Most likely this (last line of traceback) refers to the version number
of Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 2.
I put the offending code in a try block and used an except block to
throw out the offending item.
for i in items:
try:
i.major = int(i.major, 16)
i.minor = int(i.minor, 16)
except:
print "the Object is",i
print i.major
print i.minor
This works fine since what I actually wanted was the Word type
library. I just wanted to point out this so that it can be corrected
(if it is indeed a bug) to accommodate non numeric version numbers in
future builds.
I just wanted pointers on how to see the methods/objects/constants
available in the Word COM object.
Any links, PDFs on COM in Python will also be useful.
Many thanks and regards,
Ferdi
