[python-win32] cmp oleobj & instance with Python 2.6.1 et pywin32

[Michel Claveau]

Hi!

(sorry for my "bizzaroid" english)

I have a script who use DOM objects (COM-subobjects from 
win32com.client.Dispatch('InternetExplorer.Application').
These objects are in instances properties. And, I compare with other 
instances/python_objects.
e.g. a line like :
        if form.conteneurcourant != containeur:

With Python 2.5, it's OK.
With Python 2.6.1 (who run with the genious Mark Hammond's python26.dll), I 
have an error, if one of the two variables are not a COM object.

The traceback :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Ponx\pluie\ex05-image.py", line 126, in <module>
    utilisefiche()
  File "C:\Ponx\pluie\ex05-image.py", line 40, in utilisefiche
    image = fiche.element('IMG',cadre)
  File "C:\Ponx\pluie\pluie.py", line 293, in __init__
    if form.conteneurcourant != containeur:
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 205, 
in __cmp__
    return cmp(self._oleobj_, other)
TypeError: The Python instance can not be converted to a COM object


I solved the problem, by replace  !=  by  not(...is...) ; then, it's OK for 
me.


But, I think than the error in cmp can affect others scripts developers. 
It's for that what I publish this message.
