[python-win32] makepy.py "Some COM library"

[Steven Manross]

Command I ran:

C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client>python makepy.py "ADODB.Connection.6.0"

Output:
Generating to C:\Users\someuser\AppData\Local\Temp\13\gen_py\3.11\B691E011-1797-432E-907A-4D8C69339129x0x6x1.py

I am running the command above, and if I do this, my Classic ASP does not see the resulting B691E011-1797-432E-907A-4D8C69339129x0x6x1.py file because it saved the file in the user temp directory as opposed to in the site-packages directory structure.


  *   When I installed Python, I told it to install the application for "All Users" (Default Directory = C:\Program Files\Python311 -- but I removed the Program Files portion for the installation)

Is there some way to make it save the file in the correct place for the python installation from the command line so I don't have to move the files it generates?

Keep in mind that the files it generates seems to live in a 3.11 directory, but python seems to want it in:

C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\B691E011-1797-432E-907A-4D8C69339129x0x6x1.py
C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\dicts.dat
C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\__init__.py

I saw the -o parameter in the makepy.py script but if I use that, it doesn't seem to build the dicts.dat or __init__.py files - which already exist (is that a problem?).

Please and thank you for any comments,
Steven
