Re: [python-win32] Bypassing gen_py, accessing makepy-generated class directly

[Greg Antal]

Jim: I have code that looks almost exactly like what you've shown. The "makepy - o" process and the import statement are exactly what I do. I would genericize your class instantiation like this: app = somelib.SomeServer(serverStartupParameter1, etc) but, again, it's exactly what I do. I think the problem may be that "SomeServer" in your DLL is not registered as a COM server. You could look at "win32com.server.register" to see how to do that. If it turns out that "SomeServer" is already registered, then you'll have to wait for one of the genuinely smart people on this list to help, because we're at the limit of my understanding here. - Greg Antal Gregory W.

I run makepy -o somelib.py. I should be able to instantiate it more directly, not through client.Dispatch(), shouldn't I? Manually wrap it analogously to the server? I see somelib.SomeApplication inherits CoClassBaseClass, and that wants to construct with some sort of object, but what? # Like this import somelib # Not win32com.client.Dispatch(...) app = somelib.SomeApplication(someMagicHere) # Above raises 'Class not registered' if passed None. This thread seemed to be in the ballpark, but I'm still missing something... https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2009-December/009860.html And I know that, conceptually, something actually needs to reference the .dll somewhere, and I don't see that happening. (And that sure seems like ctypes domain, too.)
