Not directly - only a simple counter is tracked, not a list of what the 
objects are.  If you are lucky, you might be able to use the 'gc' module 
to locate all live objects and see what you can find alive that "looks" 
like a COM object (but even that probably will not tell you where the 
reference actually lives)

ITDPropClass its the com object of the com application
there is somone that can tell me if i'm on the right way?

These are probably just the objects defined in the makepy generated 
files.  You are looking for object which describe themself as a 
"PyIDispatch" (or possibly PyIUnknown)

But that doesn't point a finger in any specific direction either :(

Probably what we need to know is the stack when this happens, but that 
is probably very hard to grab without MSVC or possibly one of the 
sysinternals tools...

I don't know how Windows C++ works, but with GCC this error almost always indicates you're using an object after it has been freed.  The reason is that freeing the object calls the destructors in inheritance order, and changes the virtual method pointer table as it does so.  The end result is a free object whose vtable points to that of the earliest base class, with pointers to error handlers for any pure virtual method.

So look for use-after-free errors.

Message-ID: <CAOhyQRDUhoc3WZORJ32QnpDhw7AFTqODTBbEAN0VYrL7UvFYiA@mail.gmail.com>

I'm using win32com to query AD for the adsPath as below.  It's come to my
attention that a user with unicode is apparently breaking this.

user = 'mrunicode'
dnc =
win32com.adsi.ADsGetObject('LDAP://rootDSE').Get('DefaultNamingContext')
ado = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADODB.Connection')
ado.Open('Provider=ADsDSOObject')
lfilter = '(&(sAMAccountName=%s)(objectCategory=User))' % user
search = '<LDAP://%s>;%s;adsPath;subtree' % (dnc, lfilter)
obj_record = ado.Execute(search)[0]
print obj_record.Fields('adsPath'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\python_26\files\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 201, in __str__
    return str(self.__call__())
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in
position 11: ordinal not in range(128)

Is there a workaround for this?

This is probably not the "correct" answer, but you can see if it helps. At
the top of your script try adding this:

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")

print obj_record.Field("ADsPath").Value

which doesn't attempt to do an implicit encode on the string

Thank you for sharing the information. I'm started looking for the "
use-after-free errors" errors. I will update you on this. Once again
thank you very much for the information.


Regards,
Vamsi.

The reason is that freeing the object calls the destructors in inheritance order, and changes the virtual method pointer table as it does so.  The end result is a free object whose vtable points to that of the earliest base class, with pointers to error handlers for any pure virtual method.

Subject: [python-win32] VARIANT parameter
Message-ID: <CAMgHmh9dWGPfb0rR23WUgfupkm19GW3ZeOsfPFb--G4dCzrJ1w@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I am trying to access an AutoCAD clone, intellicad, via win32com. I managed
to access, but now I am stuck.
AutoCAD as well as Intellicad want

        filterType=VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_ARRAY,[0])
        filterData=VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_ARRAY,['LINE'])
        dwg.ActiveSpace = cnsts.vicModelSpace
        sel.Select(cnsts.vicSelectionSetAll,None,None,filterType,filterData)

I get an error:

MemoryError: CreatingSafeArray

In VB6 I pass two variant arrays in VB.NET 2010 I pass an integer array and
an object array.

Now how do I find out how to pass this parameter in pythoncom / win32com

Thank you for your attention

Kind Regards

sometimes you need a combination of variant type like
win32com.client.VARIANT(VT_VARIANT | VT_NULL,None)

it's better to pass tuple instead of list .. may be this could help ..

In this case, AutoCAD and Intellicad want:

filterType = VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_ARRAY | pythoncom.VT_I2, [0])
filterData = VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_ARRAY | pythoncom.VT_VARIANT, ['LINE'])

Subject: [python-win32] pywin32 build 217 for 3.3
Message-ID: <B75A47B7C7644D5B850C3B74CF80FC58@ViaWinXP>

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to install pywin32 build 217 for python 3.3 on my Vista machine.
The same machine has Python 2.7 and 3.2 including the respective pywin
versions installed. Python 3.3 is the recent official release. Its install
went smoothly.

 

The postinstall script shows a traceback:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 612, in <module>

  File "<string>", line 322, in install

  File "<string>", line 160, in LoadSystemModule

  File "C:\Python33\lib\imp.py", line 158, in load_module

    raise ValueError(msg)

ValueError: file object required for import (type code 3)

When I ignore the error and try to start pythonwin.exe (from
C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\Pythonwin.exe) it will not start,
saying it's unable to "find win32ui.pyd (or python) (126)". However,
apparently win32ui.pyd is alongside Pythonwin.exe in
C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin. Copying python.exe from C:\Python33
to C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin did not help.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Patrick

It's a known bug; probably something to do with the new import functionality in Python 3.3:
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3566104&group_id=78018&atid=551954>

As stated in the report, the fix is already in the the latest revision of pywin32. If you can't wait for the next release, you could try building it yourself.

I haven't tried the 64 bit version but the 32 bit release (from Feb
2012) appears to be compiled with VC2008, whereas Python 3.3 is
compiled with VC2010.

Subject: [python-win32] Eventhandling with Intellicad
Message-ID: <CAMgHmh_Vv_rVGKjeK3h-qmaBFDu_fNrqUvOnrbByb8+XAeLueA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everybody,

I am trying to do some eventhandling with win32com and Intellicad in python.

I did write:

import win32com.client
import win32api

import pythoncom,pywintypes
import IntelliCAD
import time
from eventhandler import *

icad_CLSID = '{77E49E57-976B-11CF-8CCB-00A0245B09EB}'

defaultNamedOptArg=pythoncom.Empty
defaultNamedNotOptArg=pythoncom.Empty
defaultUnnamedArg=pythoncom.Empty

icad_mod = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule(icad_CLSID, 0,1,0)

icadapp = win32com.client.Dispatch('Icad.Application')

workspace =
win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents(icadapp.Workspace,IcadWorkSpaceEvents)

doc =
win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents(workspace.ActiveDocument,IcadDocumentEvents)

newdoc = icadapp.Documents.Add()

while True:
    pythoncom.PumpMessages()
    time.sleep(2)
icadapp.Quit()

I also tried the variant defining icadapp with DispatchWithEvents , but I
do not get the workspace events except for the close event if I use the
mouse while the loop is running. Doing equivalent code in Visual Basic
works just fine. all events are catched.

The document events are catched but the workspace events are not. I tried
PumpWaitingMessages() but this jams the intellicad application, which will
only resume after the python script ended.

Does anyone have an idea to catch all events without jamming the
application.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards

Hi ladies/gentlemen,

What I do now is based on Motorola Scan Bar Code SDK to do some development.

SDK is COM thing. there are API Commands and API Events as they called.

 

API Commands?? development is finished. But Events no, I tried, but failed.
Could u give some help ~ ~.

Thank you.

<CODE>

from pythoncom import *

from win32com.client import *

drv = win32com.client.Dispatch("CoreScanner.CoreScanner",clsctx =
CLSCTX_ALL)

Then I can use the method/attribute, such as Open, Close and so on. Goooood.

 

class LocalScanEvent:

    def OnBarcodeEvent(self, eventType=0, pscanData=pythoncom.Empty):

        print "@@@@@@@@@@@@"

 

evt = = DispatchWithEvents("CoreScanner.CoreScanner", LocalScanEvent)

Now prblem appears. I can??t get the LocalScanEvent work. When I debug the
dispatch, it always go to BASECLASS.

How could I do? Please help out. Thank you.

 

P.S. BASECLASS ?C it is shows in attachment,?? class
ICoreScanner(DispatchBaseClass):?? .

Subject: [python-win32] Python Service does not start at Windows boot
 but at	user's logon
In-Reply-To: <48500476.5030401@probo.com>
References: <484D33C2.7080909@linbox.com>	<058a01c8ca87$7b9b4c30$72d1e490$@com.au>

This thread comes up when you search for information about this problem 
: "how to make my service start before logon screen appears". That's why 
I post this information here (this is not 4 years lag).


I had found a solution for XP which was to add the service in a 
servicegroup called "NetworkProvider" :
  sc config myservice group= NetworkProvider

On Vista/Seven just change the group name to "Network" :
  sc config myservice group= Network

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc976063.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc976127.aspx

Note that "Network" group is not listed in 
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceGroupOrder\List but it exists as 
there are some services (like RPCSS ;-) ) which have "Network" as "Group".
Take a look at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventSystem.



Hope this helps.
  Klaas

Hi all,
   I'm happy to announce the release of pywin32 build 218.  This release 
has addressed a number of issues with previous builds, has improved 
support for Python 3.3 and a number of new features - I've appended the 
change log at the end of this mail.

Downloads are available at:

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20218/

For initial support (eg, to ask questions about the release etc), please 
contact this mailing-list (python-win32 at python.org).  If you want to 
report a bug, please do so at https://sf.net/projects/pywin32.

As always, thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, both in 
terms of code and reporting bugs to the tracker.  Of particular note, 
Roger Upole contributed a huge number of fixes and enhancements for this 
release - thanks!

Cheers,

Mark

Subject: [python-win32] Problem installing for Python 2.7,
	32-bit: mc.exe not found
Message-ID: <CANe_07tnYYbaJtesahVnRhBcVgFLdyLGEeS-foB5tAVAxQU_mA@mail.gmail.com>

I seem to be missing an executable:

C:\Temp\pywin32-218>setup install
Building pywin32 2.7.218.0
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
Found version 0x600 in C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\include\SDKDDKVER.H
building 'perfmondata' extension
mc.exe -h win32\src\perfmon -r
build\temp.win32-2.7\Release\win32\src\perfmon
win32\src\perfmon\PyPerfMsgs.mc
error: command 'mc.exe' failed: No such file or directory

Any ideas?  I found a site (http://www.filecrop.com/77798596/index.html)
which points to  http://mediafire.com/?1wyyjmz43nq that purported to have a
downloadable mc.exe, but Microsoft Security Essentials apparently deletes
it immediately.

mc.exe is the Message Compiler:

 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa385638%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

which is used to compile messages for the EventLogs.

I appear to have it installed somewhere as I've just built the current 
hg tip of pywin32 against Python 2.7. It's certainly part of the Windows 
SDK. It doesn't appear (at a glance) to be part of the Visual Studio 
toolset.

Did you particularly want to build your own pywin32? Otherwise, just 
grab one of the binaries from the sourceforge files page.

I had the Enthought free Python distribution.  I uninstalled, rebooted, and re- installed.  That seems to have fixed everything.  Thanks!
