[python-win32] win32Com.gencache.EnsureDispatch Problems

[Mark Hammond]

Strange - I can't repro this on my outlook box (my Vista 64 box doesn't have
Outlook).  It looks like a ^M character ended up in the file in place or the
line ending we expect.  Do you have any idea what could cause this?  Could
you please open the generated file in a text editor and see if it is only
the one line with the strange line  endings, or is there something else
causing the error?

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Hi,

I executed the following code on a Windows Vista 64 bit machine with Python
2.4.2 and the latest win32com:

 

            from win32com.client import gencache

try:

    outlook = gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application")

except TypeError:

    print "uh-oh"

 

Result:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 4, in ?

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line
537, in EnsureDispatch

    GetModuleForCLSID(disp_clsid)

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line

    ret = Dispatch(ret, u'CreateItemFromTemplate', None,
UnicodeToString=0)^M               return ret

                                                                           

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 

I can makepy on the Outlook Com library manually however, I'd prefer to use
the EnsureDispatch function.

 

Thank you,
