Argh! I personally had not gotten around to trying Python 3.4 yet. The pythoncom package is widely used and I can't imagine that the lack of it got past our normal QA tests. I will check on this as soon as I get off work. In the meantime, you should be able to have many versions of python loaded in parallel on your machine (I have around 7, usually) so you can reload 3.3 and use the /Python Launcher for Windows/ to switch between versions. Use... py -3 myprogram.py # runs the highest numbered Python 3 or... py -3.3 myprogram.py # runs version 3.3
Did that, but now it gets crazy. I installed Python 3.3.5 and, first, pywin32-217.win-amd64-py3.3.exe (fresh from the download page), because that was the version I had before. First I got this message at the end of the installation: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 612, in <module> File "<string>", line 322, in install File "<string>", line 160, in LoadSystemModule File "C:\Python33\lib\imp.py", line 186, in load_module return load_dynamic(name, filename, opened_file) ImportError: DLL load failed: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden. (The specified module could not be found.) I've used pywin32 for years and never got such a message. Using Python 3.3 I could import adodbapi in spite of this, but trying to connect to an Access database I got exactly the same exception as before with Python 3.4 and build 218. So this begins to look like something local to my PC, but what can it be? Last week this worked. Moreover I tried to install the windows extensions on another machine running Windows 8.1, Python 3.3.3, and got the same error message at installation. Sadly, using something reasonable in place of Access is no option in this case, it's not my database.
