Hi List,
First off, it's good to be back after 3 years!!
I was dusting off some old scripts I had written using pywin32. (Python
2.5 era I think). It uses the win32con and win32api modules.
Now I'm trying to use the same scripts with Python 2.7 AMD64 version.
I downloaded pywin32-217.win-amd64-py2.7.exe from the sourceforge site
and installed it. At the end, I see the following message:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postinstall script finished
Click the Finish button to exit the setup wizard
close failed in file object destructor:
sys.excepthook is missing
lost sys.stderr
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This seems to happen if User Access Control (UAC) is disabled - is it
disabled for you?
Either way, try running "python scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install"
from the root of the install directory and things should finish
registering - that should fix the next error you see.
Then, I tried importing win32con and it works. But, when I tried
importing win32api, win32gui I get the error message:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
import win32api, win32gui
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I uninstalled pywin32 and tried installing it from source. But alas,
I again hit a roadblock:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Users\ferdinand\Downloads\pywin32-217>c:\Python27\python.exe setup.py
install
Building pywin32 2.7.217.0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 1944, in <module>
""" % dirs).split(),
File "setup.py", line 603, in __init__
if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(sdk_dir, "include", "activdbg.h")):
File "c:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 96, in join
assert len(path) > 0
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()
This will probably be due to the setup script not finding the platform SDK.
HTH,
Mark

Any pointers?
Thanks in advance,
Ferdi
