Re: Problem registering Python COM object (suddenly)
Hi,
I’ve been volunteering for the Research Dept. of Selby Botanical
Gardens here in Sarasota, FL. In support of my project I wrote a
Python COM server to extend Python’s regular expression capabilities
to VB. (I’m aware of VB regular expression support, which doesn’t
include look-behinds.)
The computer I use at the Gardens has XP SP2 and Access 2003. Two or
three weeks ago I installed Pywin32 (Active State) at the Gardens by
downloading the latest version of 2.5 (build 211?). At home I run
Active State 2.5 211.1.
ActiveState must not be keeping up. The latest version is 214. See here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/
I believe the software is up-to-date. When I originally installed my
Python COM object, the Access application ran flawlessly. However,
after a week’s absence, I can’t even seem to register the COM object
(which has changed).
The symptoms occur during a query that computes a value using the COM
object. I get the Access message “Error ??? the object doesn’t support
that method”. If I stop the query with a break point in VB, I can see
that my object exists (probably from the DIM statement). However, it
doesn’t seem to be associated with the Python COM object.
Everything works swimmingly at my development computer. Between last
week’s visit and today’s visit, things won’t work at the Gardens.
The computer there is very low on C: disk space. Could this have an
effect on win32com’s registration of the COM object?
You can free up some space on the hard drive by going to Start,
Programs, Accessories, System Tools and Disk Cleanup.
I can't tell if anything is wrong with the code or not as I try to limit
my COM experience. Hopefully someone else here will pipe up.
