Subject: [python-win32] UnicodeEncodeError getting Query String Data from
 ActiveX Scripting engine in classic asp
Message-ID: <BANLkTi=p1scoG9Y5jVjWOQ9+HNUFix28Ww@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I am embedding python code into an existing legacy classic asp
application. I need to access utf-8 encoded unicode query string data
from python.

I have something along the lines of (simplified):

<script language="python" runat="server">
# have set in IIS7 ASP configuration for default session code page to
be CodePage = 65001
a = unicode(Request('ErrMsg'))
</script>

in test.asp and I use a get request to:

http://localhost/test.asp?ErrMsg=La+connexion+%C3%A0+la+base+de+donn%C3%A9es+a+%C3%A9chou%C3%A9

If I run the the raw query parameter through urllib.unquote_plus, I
get a correctly utf-8 encoded string. If I attempt to get a python
unicode object I get:
Python ActiveX Scripting Engine error '80020009'

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<Script Block >", line 3, in
<module> a = unicode(Request('ErrMsg')) File
"C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 201,
in __str__ return str(self.__call__()) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii'
codec can't encode character u'\xe0' in position 13: ordinal not in
range(128)

/test_python.asp, line 5

a = unicode(Request('ErrMsg'))

I think this is because there is no direct method that win32com
provides to get to a unicode object so the unicode built in first
attempts to convert it to a string which results in the com Unicode
string being encoded in ascii and failing on ? (\xe0 or %C3%A0 in
utf-8).



The 'Quick Start to Server side COM and Python' document in the
PyWin32 Help file says:
"""
At this stage, Python and Unicode don?t really work well together. All
strings which come from COM will actually be Unicode objects rather
than string objects.

To make this code work in a COM environment, the last line of the
"Hello" method must become:

return "Hello" + " " * self.softspace + str(who)

Note the conversion of the "who" to "str(who)". This forces the
Unicode object into a native Python string object.
"""

Which is totally unhelpful in the case where you have a real Unicode
string and want to get the unicode characters out of it. Is there a
way to do this? How do I get a unicode string?

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance,
Chris

Hi again,

Decided to try something that I was thinking about from reading the
code for __str__ in win32com\client\dispatch.py If I bypass the
__str__ method by using unicode against __call__() I get some success.

<script language="python" runat="server">
# Next line works
Response.Write(unicode(Request('ErrMsg').__call__()))

#next line doesn't
Response.Write(unicode(Request('ErrMsg')))
</script>

Maybe there should be a __unicode__ method on the class? Maybe __str__
should set an explicit encoding?

Something like:

	def __unicode__(self):
		try:
			return unicode(self.__call__())
		except pythoncom.com_error, details:
			if details.hresult not in ERRORS_BAD_CONTEXT:
				raise
			return self.__repr__()

	def __str__(self):
		return unicode(self).encode('utf-8')

__unicode__ was introduced in python 2.2 and therefore is supported by
every 2.x version of python that a build is provided for on
sourceforge download page.

Yeah, that should exist - it does exist for makepy generated objects, 
just not dynamic ones.  I'll add this.

I don't think this is the correct answer though due to the lack of 
precedent in other Python objects.  Fortunately this all becomes moot in 
py3k.

Subject: [python-win32] Catching cursor keystrokes using something like
	msvcrt.getch() or msvcrt.getwch()
Message-ID: <PC17602011070114383502453e25a258@JacobKruger-PC>

Off-hand, while those 2 functions seem to work with other keystrokes, I'm just wondering how, in a command line interface, I could capture things like cursor keystrokes, and, would also be nice if there was a simple way to do it that would work more cross platform, as opposed to only working on windows as such?

If I use either of them, it seems to return a string value that when ord() it, it comes back as 224 for, for example, the up arrow keystroke - but when you then map that to a character using chr(), it returns as the letter h, and this is the same value for all four cursor/arrow keystrokes.

TIA

This has NEVER been easy to do in a cross-platform way, in ANY
programming language.  It's not even easy to do in a non-cross-platform
way.  A big part of the problem is that, even on a single operating
system, there is no universally accepted definition for the character
code for "cursor up".  Unix and Linux have traditionally used the
"curses" library to abstract all of that.  Curses uses the terminfo
library, which contains definitions for hundreds (maybe thousands) of
terminals and terminal emulations.

Curses has never been big on Windows, in part because in Windows it is
easier just to convert to a GUI application.

On Windows, the non-ASCII keys generate two-byte keycodes.  That 224 is
an "escape code" indicator that tells you you need to read another byte
to get the scan code for the key that was pressed.  Up arrow returns
0xE0 and 0x48.  Down arrow returns 0xE0 and 0x50.

The following seems to actually work relatively consistently after just a bit of testing:
#bit of code sample
while True:
  sKey = msvcrt.getwch()
    if str(ord(sKey)) == "77":
#end of code sample

And then on this windows7 machine, the following are the strings that seem to match:
72 = up
75 = left
77 = right
80 = down

Anyway, this is just testing, and like you said, would most likely not work too cross platform as such, but anyway.

Stay well

"SEEM" to match?  Are you reading any of the replies in this thread? 
Did you read my explanation earlier?  Have you read ANY of the
documentation?  You don't need to guess about this.  The behavior of
getch in DOS is well-defined.

The arrow keys (ALL of the non-ASCII keys, in fact) generate TWO bytes
in getch.  The first byte is 224 (or hex 0xE0).  That is a special code
that tells you "this is the first byte of a two-byte key code).  The
second byte will then be the set you have posted.

What on earth is the point of converting to string with
"str(ord(sKey))"?  Why wouldn't you just write "if ord(sKey) == 77"?

So, a more general solution might be:

    def getKeyCode():
        x = ord(msvcrt.getch())
        if x != 224: return x
        return (x << 8) | ord(msvcrt.getch())

Now, you can tell the difference between up-arrow and the H key.

    k = getKeyCode()
    if k == ord('H'):
        print "H key pressed"
    elif k == 0xE048:
        print "Up-arrow pressed"

> Anyway, this is just testing, and like you said, would most likely not work too cross platform as such, but anyway.

It DEFINITELY does not work cross-platform.  That key-code sequencing is
a remnant of the BIOS in PCs, and this getch behavior is leftover from
MS-DOS.  Linux requires an entirely different approach.

Thanks.

Will check it out, but, BTW, the documentation isn't perfectly rendered as
far as I'm concerned, since I find mailing lists the best place to do
research on these matters, although have looked through documentation
already, searched around places like codeproject, done a few google
searches, etc., but didn't find a real answer until now, but, like you said,
since it's not really platform independent, I think will for now leave it
alone as such.

Thanks again for help, either way

Message-ID: <3D62D614-BFF6-4173-BD72-A32FEA56CBE3@gmail.com>

Hello,

New here, so I hope I'm following correct procedures.

Yesterday I installed python 2.7.2 on win xp and then successfully installed pywin32-216.  Today I needed to use a different version of python, so I uninstalled both and installed python 2.6.7 and pywin-216.  The installation failed and this was displayed on the final screen:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<string>", line 604, in <module>
 File "<string>", line 314, in install
 File "<string>", line 152, in LoadSystemModule
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I also tried pywin32-215 with the same result.  

I didn't find anything that related in the troubleshooting or FAQ pages.  Since there is a request to report bugs for win xp install problems I went ahead and did that (#3356683).

Is there anything else I should try?

Regards,
Lynn

Message-ID: <CAN-=XHMFU+CSHZ-qHy1XQCJ7N2UXfD6098--tVdUVqjKwDFHfw@mail.gmail.com>

What are the available data types accepted by *tuple* in
win32print.StartDocPrinter(*hprinter, level, tuple*)? Or, if this is
determined by my printer driver, how can I find this information?

I am trying to hack together a program that will print a html file I've
generated onto a 3x5 index card... code below:

def print_data(data):
    pHandle = OpenPrinter(GetDefaultPrinter(),
{"DesiredAccess":PRINTER_ALL_ACCESS})
    devmode = GetPrinter(pHandle, 8)["pDevMode"]
    devmode.PaperLength = 1270
    devmode.PaperWidth = 762
    SetPrinter(pHandle, 8, {"pDevMode":devmode}, 0)
    hJob = StartDocPrinter(pHandle, 1, ("spellcard.html", None, "RAW"))
    StartPagePrinter(pHandle)
    WritePrinter(pHandle, data)
    EndPagePrinter(pHandle)
    EndDocPrinter(pHandle)
    ClosePrinter(pHandle)

So what I'm really asking, if anyone can answer, is this: How do I turn my
HTML file into something I can print?

Of course.  The Microsoft Office applications are controllable at a very
fine-grained level.

That doesn't mean it's going to be easy.  Generally, the way to start a
task like this is to record a VB macro of the action you want to take,
then figure out how to translate that VB code into Office calls.  There
is good documentation on the Word object model, although naturally it's
all oriented toward VB and C# programming.

RAW and EMFSPOOL are predefined.  The printer driver might define other
types, but few do so.

You have to render the HTML, just like a browser would.  That, of
course, is not a trivial task, especially if you have tables and
stylesheets.  You could use Internet Explorer to do this, or embed one
of the other browsers.

Perhaps you should look at the wx.html.HtmlEasyPrinting module in
wxPython.  It doesn't take arbitrary HTML, but it works for generating
reports and things.

Lynn:
  First, you were working too hard. You did not need to remove 2.7.n to
install 2.6.n -- they install side-by-side in C:\python27 and C:\python26.
Here on my laptop, at the present moment, I have 2.3.5, 2.7.1, and 3.2 all
installed. [also two versions of IronPython, one of Jython, and two others
on the Linux partition.]
  In order to run the one I want, I have a group of batch files on my search
path.  For example, py32.bat contains:...
c:\python32\python.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

Second, You did not say what installation method you were using to install
pywin32.  The recommended way is to download the latest installer from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32.
For 32 bit Python 2.6, it should be
Build216/pywin32-216.win32-py2.6.exe<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build216/pywin32-216.win32-py2.6.exe/download>
  Each installer should automatically find its own correct version of
python. Is that what you tried?

Here's your unsolicited Windows hint of the day.  You can simplify and
generalize that by saying:

Vernon:

You may be right that I was doing too much, but I wanted to get as close as possible to a clean install.

I was using the recommended method for installation and downloading the version matching python.

I went back to python 2.7 and got pywin32 to work, but only after uninstalling everything, rebooting, and reinstalling from scratch.

Subject: [python-win32] Word document with columns and page break.
Message-ID: <20110708041222.283360@gmx.com>

Hi,

 I'm trying to create a Python script using win32com that creates a 
 Word 2003 document. This will become part of a little bigger script
 for work. After the document opens up, it is split into two columns,
 then text is pasted in, taking up both columns. After this is done,
 I'd like to move the insertion point to the end of that page.

 Next, I'd like the script to insert a page break, so that a new page
 is added to the document, while still keeping the two column
 format applied, previously. Once this is done, text, again, will be
 pasted in afterwhich the entire document will be sent to any printer,
 depending on which is available at the time. After printing the pages,
 the document will be closed, without saving.

 I have some of the code down, but need the part that moves the
 insertion point to the end and inserts a new page as well as the
 function to print the file.

 Basically, this is what I have, most of which I gathered onlin:
 *************************************************
 import win32com.client as win32

 app = 'Word'
 word = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('%s.Application' % app)
 doc = word.Documents.Add()
 word.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.TextColumns.SetCount (2)
 word.Visible = True

 ## Code that pastes text into the document will go here.

 *************************************************
 ## Code that moves insertion point to end of line goes here.
 ## Code that inserts a new page goes here.
 *************************************************
 ## Code that pastes text into the document will go here.

 I've tried reading the Python win32com book, but did not find
 what I needed there, have been looking over The Net, but have
 had little luck in finding any resource that could help me. I've tried
 using VBA Macro Recorder to produce similar code in VBA but I get
 stuck when trying to port the code from VBA to Python.

 This is VBA Code from the Macro:
 **************************************************************
 Sub Macro1()
 '
 ' Macro1 Macro
 ' Macro recorded 7/7/2011 by Little Guy
 '
 If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial <> wdPaneNone Then
 ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Close
 End If
 If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type <> wdPrintView Then
 ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
 End If
 With ActiveDocument.PageSetup.TextColumns
 .SetCount NumColumns:=2
 .EvenlySpaced = True
 .LineBetween = False
 .Width = InchesToPoints(4.97)
 .Spacing = InchesToPoints(0.5)
 End With
 Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
 If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial <> wdPaneNone Then
 ActiveWindow.Panes(2).Close
 End If
 If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type <> wdPrintView Then
 ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
 End If
 With ActiveDocument.PageSetup.TextColumns
 .SetCount NumColumns:=2
 .EvenlySpaced = True
 .LineBetween = False
 .Width = InchesToPoints(4.97)
 .Spacing = InchesToPoints(0.5)
 End With
 End Sub
 **************************************************************
 I've tried browsing Microsoft's COM Automation pages, but it feels like I'm looking
 for a needle in a hay stack, as the saying goes. I suppose I could code this
 functionality into a VBScript file and then call it from Python, but I'd, much, rather
 code everything in Python.

 Please excuse the long winded post, and thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regards, 
 Little Guy

You have the basic idea.  You just need to plow through the online samples.

Your macro does nothing other than set up the columns.  It doesn't do
the text manipulation.

If you are going to be doing a lot of this, then unfortunately you
really need to become an expert in looking for needles in haystacks. 
The process of coming up with Python code

This, I think, does what you were trying to do:

import win32com.client as win32
word = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Application')
word.Visible = True
doc = word.Documents.Add()
doc.PageSetup.TextColumns.SetCount (2)

# Paste a bunch of text.

rng = doc.Range(0,0)
rng.Text = "Lots and lots of words.  " * 200

# Collapse the range so we point at the end.

rng.Collapse( win32.constants.wdCollapseEnd)

# Insert a hard page break.

rng.InsertBreak( win32.constants.wdPageBreak )

# Insert more words.

rng.Text = "More words.  " * 30

Hi,

i tried to access standard mail application to write a mail.
I know the machanism with urllib, but there is no regular way to add 
attachments.

Actually i do following:

app = "Outlook"

mailObj = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("%s.Application" % app)
mail = mailObj.CreateItem(win32com.client.constants.olMailItem)
mail.Recipients.Add("mail (at) domain.de")
mail.Subject = "Subject"
mail.Body = "Body Msg"
mail.Attachments.Add('c:/temp/file.txt')

But there are Systems, which don't use MS Outlook.
Is there a way to access the standard mail application.

Regards,
Steffen

How would you do that with urllib?

There is no "standard mail application".  Lots of Windows systems (and
most servers) don't run a mail application at all.  You can try using
MAPI; most of the popular mail apps support that  The COM dispatch is
"Mapi.Session".  There are even some Python samples on using MAPI.

However, to be completely general, you need to use smtplib to send to an
external mail server.

I found this on web:

import urllib, webbrowser, win32api

def mailto_url(to=None,subject=None,body=None,cc=None, att=None):
     """

     url = "mailto: " + urllib.quote(to.strip(),"@,")
     sep = "?"
     if cc:
         url+= sep + "cc=" + urllib.quote(cc,"@,")
         sep = "&"
     if subject:
         url+= sep + "subject=" + urllib.quote(subject,"")
         sep = "&"
     if body:
         # Also note that line breaks in the body of a message MUST be
         # encoded with "%0D%0A". (RFC 2368)
         body="\r\n".join(body.splitlines())
         url+= sep + "body=" + urllib.quote(body,"")
         sep = "&"
     return url

txtTo = "mail (at) domain.de"

This is no option, because there is noch smtp-server withouf

I'm not sure how to use the wx.html.HtmlEasyPrinting module, I'm sorry to
say. The documentation is less than helpful, although that may well be
attributed to my newbishness over their lack of documentation.

So suppose I decided to embed, say, Google Chrome into my program, to
utilize its printing capabilities. How would I go about doing that? :3 I've
never had to embed a browser in my code before...

Subject: [python-win32] Word document with columns and page break.
Message-ID: <20110709144643.26730@gmx.com>

Mr. Roberts,

 Thanks for the assist. As I am not an expert at this, yet, it's a bit difficult
 knowing where to start looking for the information. 

 Actually, I have most of the text processing portion of the code down, and
 omitted it from my, earlier, post so as to not overwelm the message.

 I wish there was some sort of pictorial object, property, hierarchy for
 python-win32 somewhere as it may be a great assist to newbies to visually
 see what objects and properties go where. I think Java used to have something
 similar, at least I saw something like that in the late 90s.

 I never would have imagined, that inserting the break would be done from the
 *rng* section, as demonstrated here:  *rng.InsertBreak( win32.constants.wdPageBreak )*

 I was totally off thinking that it would be done from doc section as show here:
 *doc.PageSetup.TextColumns.SetCount (2)*

 I tried using python-win32's help system's, search feature and search for insert
 but did not see any suggestions could up. 

 Anyways, I appretiate the suggestions.

 Regards,
 Little Guy

This isn't really something you should be searching for in PythonWin. 
Rather, this is part of the Word object model, which PythonWin lets you use.

For more information about the Word object model:
1) Open Word
2) Open the VBA editor (Alt+F11)
3) from the menus: Help -> Microsoft Visual Basic Help
4) Search for Word object model
That will give you a visual overview of the object model.

Also, pressing F2 brings up the Object Browser, which lets you see 
methods/properties of a particular object.
You can also search for objects/methods/properties by name, using the 
second dropdown.

Re: Selection vs. Range
Just about anything you can do with the Selection object, you can do 
with the Range object. The difference is that the Selection object is a 
property of the Application, or the Window - it refers to the currently 
selected text in the window. The Range object is some part of the 
document, unrelated to whether it has been selected in the Window. If, 
for example, you Collapse the Selection to the end of the Selection, 
that will be reflected in the window of the application. Collapsing the 
Range will have no visible effect.

Re: Columns
I would suggest that you have to think about the steps you would use to 
do this manually.
In order to have different numbers of columns in different parts of a 
document, you need to insert a section break, and apply the columns to a 
given section.
So, in code:

#Insert a new section + page break
doc.Range.InsertBreak(win32.constants.wdSectionBreakNextPage)
#Apply two columns to the first section
doc.Sections(1).PageSetup.TextColumns.SetCount(2)


Hope this helps,
Zev Spitz

  You (who ever you mean when you say "we") should probably set up a
dedicated smtp-server for your group.  If many of your users have OUTLOOK,
then you may have an exchange server which could be used for that purpose.
In my own case, it was fairly easy to get that administrator to turn on smtp
support on the company's exchange server.  I wrote a little private
in-company-email module which was pre-programmed with the name of the
exchange server and with our company's authentication. The smtplib calls
were embedded within it.
  To add an attachment, you need MIME -- which was invented for that exact
purpose.  There is a whole library of python standard modules for doing
that.  See http://docs.python.org/library/email.html and an example in
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52243-sending-multipart-mime-email-<http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52243-sending-multipart-mime-email-with-smtplib-and-mime/>
with-smtplib-and-mime/<http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52243-sending-multipart-mime-email-with-smtplib-and-mime/>

  That ought to be much easier than hacking OUTLOOK -- especially if you
must support version updates, etc.

I'd like to amplify Zev's reply, which was right on.

What you're talking about there is not part of Python, or Python-Win32. 
There's nothing in Python called "InsertBreak"  Those commands, methods,
and properties are all part of Microsoft Word.  Microsoft has decided
what the methods are and how they are used.  What Python-Win32 lets you
do is treat the COM objects in Word as if they were real Python objects,
but you have to look to Word's help information to figure out how they work.

And as I said before, it is a bit of an art to translate the existing
Word sample code (which is all C++, or C#, or VB) into Python.

Even those constants (like win32.constants.wdPageBreak) are not
built-in.  When you use EnsureDispatch to create a COM object, the COM
stuff in Python-Win32 scans the library that contains the object to look
for all of the predefined constants.

No, of course not.  If you Google for "Word object model", you'll get to
the top-level MSDN page about programming Word.  All of the Office
applications are complicated, but Microsoft has done a pretty good job
of providing a COM interface for every feature in the application.

Have you downloaded wxPython?  Did you install the wxPython demo?  There
is an example of virtually every wxPython type in that demo, including
HtmlEasyPrinting.  For more detailed help, you should probably go to the
wxPython mailing list.

You'd have to go searching.  The major browsers have interfaces that let
an application get access to the same object model that Javascript code
sees, which would allow you to trigger a "print".  I'm not really
convinced that's the best way.  The browsers tend to be very, very large.

How complicated is the thing you are printing?  If you're just printing
text in a 3x5 card format, it's probably just as easy to do it with
Windows GDI calls.  You could  even create a PDF.  That's what I tend to
do, because PDFs are so universal.  When I create PDF, it looks the same
everywhere.  There are several good PDF libraries for Python.

Mr. Spitz,

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried it and found the object model for word

This isn't really something you should be searching for in PythonWin. 
Rather, this is part of the Word object model, which PythonWin lets you use.

For more information about the Word object model:
1) Open Word
2) Open the VBA editor (Alt+F11)
3) from the menus: Help -> Microsoft Visual Basic Help
4) Search for Word object model
That will give you a visual overview of the object model.

Also, pressing F2 brings up the Object Browser, which lets you see 
methods/properties of a particular object.
You can also search for objects/methods/properties by name, using the 
second dropdown.

Re: Selection vs. Range
Just about anything you can do with the Selection object, you can do 
with the Range object. The difference is that the Selection object is a 
property of the Application, or the Window - it refers to the currently 
selected text in the window. The Range object is some part of the 
document, unrelated to whether it has been selected in the Window. If, 
for example, you Collapse the Selection to the end of the Selection, 
that will be reflected in the window of the application. Collapsing the 
Range will have no visible effect.

Re: Columns
I would suggest that you have to think about the steps you would use to 
do this manually.
In order to have different numbers of columns in different parts of a 
document, you need to insert a section break, and apply the columns to a 
given section.
So, in code:

#Insert a new section + page break
doc.Range.InsertBreak(win32.constants.wdSectionBreakNextPage)
#Apply two columns to the first section
doc.Sections(1).PageSetup.TextColumns.SetCount(2)


Hope this helps,
Zev Spitz

I'm beginning to relize the fact that I have to figure out the translation
as documentation is, as has been explained, comes only from the Microsoft 

side.

Yes, and unfortunately, I'm not an artist :)  I tried looking around for 

some sort of VBA to python converter and came up with the following: 

http://vb2py.sourceforge.net/ Unfortunately, it does not appear to be 

VBA compatible, at this time.

 

Thanks for your help,

Little Guy

  You (who ever you mean when you say "we") should probably set up a

dedicated smtp-server for your group.  If many of your users have OUTLOOK,

then you may have an exchange server which could be used for that purpose.

In my own case, it was fairly easy to get that administrator to turn on smtp

support on the company's exchange server.  I wrote a little private

in-company-email module which was pre-programmed with the name of the

exchange server and with our company's authentication. The smtplib calls

were embedded within it.

  To add an attachment, you need MIME -- which was invented for that exact

purpose.  There is a whole library of python standard modules for doing

that.  See http://docs.python.org/library/email.html and an example in

http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52243-sending-multipart-mime-email-<http
://code.activestate.com/recipes/52243-sending-multipart-mime-email-with-smtp
lib-and-mime/>

with-smtplib-and-mime/<http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52243-sending-mul
tipart-mime-email-with-smtplib-and-mime/>

 

  That ought to be much easier than hacking OUTLOOK -- especially if you

must support version updates, etc.

I'd like to amplify Zev's reply, which was right on.

 

What you're talking about there is not part of Python, or Python-Win32. 

There's nothing in Python called "InsertBreak"  Those commands, methods,

and properties are all part of Microsoft Word.  Microsoft has decided

what the methods are and how they are used.  What Python-Win32 lets you

do is treat the COM objects in Word as if they were real Python objects,

but you have to look to Word's help information to figure out how they work.

 

And as I said before, it is a bit of an art to translate the existing

Word sample code (which is all C++, or C#, or VB) into Python.

 

Even those constants (like win32.constants.wdPageBreak) are not

built-in.  When you use EnsureDispatch to create a COM object, the COM

stuff in Python-Win32 scans the library that contains the object to look

for all of the predefined constants.

No, of course not.  If you Google for "Word object model", you'll get to

the top-level MSDN page about programming Word.  All of the Office

applications are complicated, but Microsoft has done a pretty good job

of providing a COM interface for every feature in the application.

Have you downloaded wxPython?  Did you install the wxPython demo?  There

is an example of virtually every wxPython type in that demo, including

HtmlEasyPrinting.  For more detailed help, you should probably go to the

wxPython mailing list.

You'd have to go searching.  The major browsers have interfaces that let

an application get access to the same object model that Javascript code

sees, which would allow you to trigger a "print".  I'm not really

convinced that's the best way.  The browsers tend to be very, very large.

 

How complicated is the thing you are printing?  If you're just printing

text in a 3x5 card format, it's probably just as easy to do it with

Windows GDI calls.  You could  even create a PDF.  That's what I tend to

do, because PDFs are so universal.  When I create PDF, it looks the same

everywhere.  There are several good PDF libraries for Python.

Subject: [python-win32] Calling Excel function GetSaveAsFilename,
	parameter ignored
Message-ID: <CAK4NeTGs=14mT8sD7Hgn2XjUD-sjtKv=j0B4FLupKL6zFjWijA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I am wanting to display a file "Save As..." dialog in Excel through Pywin.
 I am doing this by calling
Application.GetSaveAsFilename<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.excel._application.getsaveasfilename.aspx>().
 The problem however is that the parameter supplied to this function,
InitialFilename, seems to be ignored by Excel.  Perhaps it's not getting
through to Excel.  When VBA was used to call the same function, the initial
filename displayed correctly.

Not being able to specify an initial filename is inconvenient if not
unsatisfactory from application usability point of view, and one wonders if
other functions might also be affected.   If anyone has any suggestions as
to why this might be happening, or even what a solution may be, I would be
glad to hear from you.

I am using Python 2.7 on Win 7, Office 2010 (v14), and a very recent stable
release of pywin (pywin32-216.win32-py2.7).

Code to recreate the problem:

app = Dispatch("Excel.Application")
app.Visible=True
books=app.Workbooks
books.Open(Filename="C:/temp/test.xlsx")
app.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFilename="filename.xlsx")  # <<<<<<< THIS
PARAMETER IS IGNORED
app.Quit()

Pywin generated function for the GetSaveAsFilename function (in which it can
be seen that the parameter InitialFilename is handled):

def GetSaveAsFilename(self, InitialFilename=defaultNamedOptArg,
FileFilter=defaultNamedOptArg, FilterIndex=defaultNamedOptArg,
Title=defaultNamedOptArg
, ButtonText=defaultNamedOptArg):
return self._ApplyTypes_(1076, 1, (12, 0), ((12, 17), (12, 17), (12, 17),
(12, 17), (12, 17)), u'GetSaveAsFilename', None,InitialFilename
, FileFilter, FilterIndex, Title, ButtonText)

At the moment, development is stopped in its tracks, so comments are greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Some googling turned up http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/excel-prog/137292/GetSaveAsFilename-file-name-is-blank
which might be related to what you're seeing.

That was it - invoking the function with the FileFilter parameter as well
resulted in the display of the InitialFilename as desired.  Your googling
has saved my day. Many thanks Andrew.

I might say though, that googling on Excel in general seems to bring up a
lot of noisy hits, but more to the point one would not expect the display of
InitialFilename to depend on filter specification especially as it wasn't
required in VBA and it isn't mentioned in Microsoft's documentation of the
function.

We've just been having this discussion.  The hard part is figuring out
which functions in the Word object model will do what you need.  After
you know which functions you need, it's relatively easy to convert the
VB or C# code to Python.

In this case, the Document object contains a Fields collection that hold
all of the fields in the document.  You will probably need to run
through the fields in the Fields collection, figure out which ones are
fill-in fields (as opposed to page number fields, or date fields, or one
of the other thousand field types), and change the value.

I have been doing a lot of work with Word and pywin32, it is a
nightmare (Especially with formatting). If you want to populate
pre-defined fields then the easiest way I have found is to create a
template document and fill it with bookmarks, then pretty much do
this:

document.Bookmarks("my_bookmark").Range.Text = "Hello"

This will put "Hello" wherever you have bookmarked "my_bookmark".
Works for tables and other items as well.

Subject: [python-win32] Multiple versions of Python on same machine with
	regsvr32.exe PYDs
Message-ID: <4E1DE652.6010801@gmail.com>

Hi,

I have been researching this for a couple of days now, and although 
virtualenv seems like the answer, I have been reading about problems 
with applications that require specific versions of Python in the 
registry so it can find corresponding PYD and DLL files. This means that 
it is more complicated than just setting the path differently for each 
Python installation.

In other words, if you need

c:> regsrv32.exe Some_python.pyd

then they're going to be problems if you try to change your default 
Python installation by just manipulating the Path.

Basically, my problem is I need to slowly migrate my entire software 
stack from Python version 2.6 to Python version 2.7.

Any help appreciated.

The bookmarks way look very useable.   I will have to give that a try when I
create one of these from scratch.   At the moment, I am looking at having to
support a Word document with form fields already in it.   Not sure that is
the way I would have done it myself, but it is what I have to work with.


Thanks,

Oh good!   That means I definately come to the right place to ask about
this.   I have found a FormFields() method for documents that seems to be
able to access the defined fields by number,  doc.FormFields(1),
FormFields(2), etc.   I am looking at some Perl code where a guy is using
the same API.   Is the FormFields() method familiar to the group?


Thanks,
Bill

Formally, FormFields is a collection, not a method.  A C++ programmer
would be hard-pressed to tell the difference, but being a collection
implies a standard set of properties.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb211959.aspx

I don't think you'll find any direct experience in this group.  That's a
fairly esoteric corner of Word.  My guess is you have some
experimentation in front of you.  It shouldn't be hard to translate the
Perl code.  Even something as simple as this should be workable:
    for f in doc.FormFields:
        if f.Type == win32com.client.constants.wdFieldFormTextInput:
            pass # This is an input field

I'm not with you there.  What problems specifically?

regsvr32.exe doesn't work with .pyd files - what were you hoping to achieve?

Mark:

Thanks for your reply. I'm using the Python extension described here:

    http://www.synapseadaptive.com/joel/index_old.html

Basically, the natlink.pyd file is called ( after being registered with 
  regsvr32 ) indirectly by the speech recognition engine. Thus, if the 
natlink.pyd file is built using, say, Python version 2.6, and I have 
another version of Python installed, say, Python version 2.7, then when 
the functions inside of natlink.pyd are called, they need to somehow be 
able to figure out the correct Python path and other linked libraries. 
So, I'm not sure how this works in terms of the registry and how Python 
figures out which Python version it should use and where the 
corresponding libraries are.

Any ideas here? I would like to have multiple Python installations on 
the same machine so I can migrate between two versions, but I admit all 
of this registry stuff is confusing to me and I don't imagine it will be 
so simple as simply changing the Python path.

Thanks in advance and for all your great work bringing Python to us 
Windows users.

Actually you have a lot of books that have been quoted in www.python.org.
One of them is ThinkPython book at www.thinkpython.org. Its really good.
You'll also find exercises at the end of units.

There is absolutely no problem having multiple installations of Python 
if they are different versions - so just install both 2.6 and 2.7.

The registry stuff is only needed if, say, you wanted to different 2.7 
installations on the same machine.

Subject: [python-win32] Connecting to Python COM server from Excel VBA does
 not work - Windows 7
Message-ID: <CADPa7Fag8p08Jf_cXUTVqsHYKOGdFsE4UaOnpvibzbPOu1NWtw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I recently upgraded to 32-bit windows 7.

For some reason, I am getting an automation error when i try to run my excel
VBA script to call my Python COM server.

Here's the script for the python COM server.  This is creating a COM server
to watermark a PDF.

import pythoncom
class PythonUtilities:
    _public_methods_ = [ 'add_watermark' ]
    _reg_progid_ = "PythonDemo.Utilities"
    # NEVER copy the following ID
    # Use "print pythoncom.CreateGuid()" to make a new one.
    _reg_clsid_ = "{B7E3EE50-5E2A-4044-8241-4F76B1DAB894}"

    def add_watermark(self, pdf_input_path, watermark_string,
pdf_output_path):
        import StringIO
        from pyPdf import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter
        from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas

        output = PdfFileWriter()

        #create watermark
        packet = StringIO.StringIO()
        c = canvas.Canvas(packet)
        c.drawString(500,750,watermark_string)
        c.save()
        packet.seek(0)
        watermark = PdfFileReader(packet)

        input = PdfFileReader(file(pdf_input_path, "rb"))

        pdf_path_page_count = input.getNumPages()
        print pdf_path_page_count

        for page in range(pdf_path_page_count):
            print page
            current_page = input.getPage(page)
            current_page.mergePage(watermark.getPage(0))
            output.addPage(input.getPage(page))

        outputStream = file(pdf_output_path, "wb")
        output.write(outputStream)
        outputStream.close()

    # Add code so that when this script is run by
    # Python.exe, it self-registers.

if __name__=='__main__':
    print "Registering COM server..."
    import win32com.server.register
    win32com.server.register.UseCommandLine(PythonUtilities)





In Excel VBA, when i try to run

Set PythonUtils = CreateObject("PythonDemo.Utilities")


i get an automation error stating that the module cannot be found.

Looking around on the web, i see that Diego had a similar issue and he
resolved it by properly installing Python.  I believe Python is properly
installed on my workstation so I don't think that is creating the issue.

Thanks,
dennis

Hi,
i use your script with this vbs:

dim PythonUtils
Set PythonUtils = CreateObject("PythonDemo.Utilities")
call 
PythonUtils.add_watermark("d:\pippo.pdf","pluto_pluto","d:\pippooooo.pdf")

and it works well on win7 64Bit


May be reinstalling python, or win32com could be the right choice

Regards,
Matteo

Thanks, reinstalling win32com worked!

Its my first time using this mailing list so i'm not exactly sure how to
reply to my thread.  Apologies if this creates a new one.

Here some more good free book resources for Python programming,  by the same
author.  The website provides both HTML and PDF versions.

Book 1:  Intended for beginners and non-programmers (I think it is good,
even for programmers even if some material might be a little bit
elementary.  Certainly good if one has not programmed in a while, for
review.):
http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/nonprogrammer.html#book-nonprogrammer

Book 2:  Intended for more experienced programmers:

Book 3:  Specifically focuses on OOP design, two editions of this book for
Python and Java:

I strongly recommend Thinking in Python - http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkpython.html

I recently wrote a blog about my experiences learning - http://www.curphey.com/2011/07/learn-core-python-in-a-week-my-way/

Unfortunately C++ and I don't get along and I've had a terrible time trying to 
translate them into python using the pywin32 module.  I understand  that there 
are ways using smtp etc to send an email I've used them before on other projects 
but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish here.  What I want is a way to pop 
the default email client (In my case Lotus Notes) with a new message and a file 
attached waiting for the user to type the body of the email add a recipient and 
send (Just like the 'Send to Mail Recipient' shortcut.)  My understanding is 
that basically you have to emulate the drop target of the 'Send to Mail 
Recipient' shortcut call its drop function and provide it an IDataObject pr 
something similar and it just works.  But for the life of me I can't accomplish 
this.  If anyone out ther can help it would be very appreciated.

Thanks

I've started to take a look at this, but it might be easier just to make
a C++ application to do this, and call it from your Python code.

If you are only on Windows then maybe simplemapi.py will be fine for you.

I use the code originaly done by Ian Cook.

http://www.kirbyfooty.com/simplemapi.py

I couldn't remember his name so did a bit of googling and found that 
there is a newer more updated version by John Popplewell which I haven't 
tried yet.

When running commands from cmd the title bar will update to relect the 
currently running command.  Is there a way to have python scripts run 
from cmd.exe to update the cmd title bar?

from ctypes import windll

windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTitleA("foobar")
-or-
windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTitleA(u"spam")

Sorry, the last one should read (note the 'W' instead of 'A'):

windll.kernel32.SetConsoleTitleW(u"spam")

Thank you very much!

Just out of curiosity, is there a similar command using win32?

Assuming you meant: using the pywin32 extensions, then check out
the win32console module for all your console needs

Thanks again for the help.  I used this to help answer a Stack Overflow 
question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6485678/

Thomas, do you mind if I use your name for attribution?  Right now it 
just says "the folks on python-win32 mailing list" because I wasn't sure.
