I'm trying to use mshtml (i.e., the Microsoft HTML parser used in IE) from a
Python client, but as this is my first foray into using Python with COM (or on
Win32 for that matter), I'm having some difficulty. I started by using makepy
on mshtml.tlb to create a wrapper.
Here's a transcript from within the shell:
>>> import win32com.client
>>> o = win32com.client.Dispatch('htmlfile')
>>> o
<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft HTML Object Library.DispHTMLDocument>
This looks OK so far, AFAIK. Now, the next step is to open a document. The
python seems to recognize the method:
>>> o.createDocumentFromUrl
<method DispHTMLDocument.createDocumentFromUrl of DispHTMLDocument instance at
01F10EDC>
But when I try to actually use the method:
doc = o.createDocumentFromUrl('192.168.1.1', None)
a fault occurs inside mshtml.dll that kills pythonwin. If I do this inside a
.py file and wrap it in a 'try', it still kills pythonwin (or python, if I'm at
a prompt).
Am I doing something wrong?
I'm using ActivePython build 202 on Win98 (4.10.2222). Any help would be
appreciated.
