Re: Tcl/tk version in Python installation

Solved.

I had to remove environment variable TCL_LIBRARY, which pointed to some 
non-existent installation.

Tcl/tk version in Python installation

[Baruch Lifshitz]

I need help of those who familiar with Python-Tcl/tk bundle.

I cannot start IDLE IDE for Python 3.2.3 or 3.3.0 installation. Command

python -m idlelib.idle
gives next output:

   C:\Python33>python -m idlelib.idle
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\Python33\lib\runpy.py", line 160, in _run_module_as_main
"__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "C:\Python33\lib\runpy.py", line 73, in _run_code
exec(code, run_globals)
  File "C:\Python33\lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 11, in 
idlelib.PyShell.main()
  File "C:\Python33\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1421, in main
root = Tk(className="Idle")
  File "C:\Python33\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1756, in __init__
self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, want
objects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:

/lib/tcl8.5 C:/library C:/library C:/tcl8.5.11/library C:/tcl8.5.11/library
Actually init.tcl is located both in C:\Python33\tcl\tcl8.5 and 
C:\Python33\tcl\tix8.4.3 but something preventing tkinter from starting.

During previous attempts to start idlelib.idle module form command line I got 
message

 "Tcl": have 8.5.11, need exactly 8.4 
So this is a stage I can't pass. What in the system may force me to use Tcl 8.4 
and prevent form using 8.5.11 installed with Python 3.3.0?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Help accessing COM .dll from Python

[Paul Kölle]

Hi,

Am 01.12.2012 10:51, schrieb Steve Simmons:

First time post - be gentle with me :-)

I am trying to write a Python script to access a scanning device. I have an SDK
for the scanner but the documentation is a bit limited and the supplier doesn't
support Python (but Python is the best option for me in the current 
circumstances).
From a quick view it seems the documentation is excellent. There are 
tons of examples (even Java so you could use jython), API documents and 
the SDK. The "VC SDK.pdf" from the API documents zip explains what 
functions are there and how to call them. I have no idea why you used 
PEExplorer, are you using a device not covered by Slib.dll?
Anyway, I suggest you forget about COM and try to load Slib.dll via 
ctypes http://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html and call some 
functions documented in "VC SDK.pdf" and see what happens. The defines 
for return codes used in the documentation are here 
http://www.id-reader.com/Support/Sample_Codes/Visual_C_Plus_Plus/header_lib.rar 
in SlibErrDef.h and probably others...


cheers
 Paul



The SDK revolves around a .dll file that is described as a 'COM Object' but the
text also implies that it can be accessed directly - "If you don’t use the COM
interface in your application and use the SDK files directly like in VC++ then
you don’t need to install these files on the destination computer".  If I look
inside the .dll (thanks PEExplorer!), I see DllCanUnload, DllGetClassObject,
DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer in the 'Export' view.  If I look at
the 'Import' view, I can see the names of a bunch of .dll files and the names of
the functions/methods I want to call.  So I concluded that DllGetClassObject
would be my friend.

However, I've read various tutorials on using .dll and COM (ctypes, comtypes,
and the Python documentation) and I've ended up more confused than when I
started. I expected to be using COM but all the examples seem to revolve around
automating excel or outlook.

I'd be really grateful for some hints on what direction Ishould be headed and a
pointer to a relevant tutorial.

i've had some some expirience using COM from python with pywin32, which
works reasonably well if your interfaces is documented.

as for examples beeing excel centric: it does not really matter, you
just have to look the real interface you want to use in the
documentation of your libary.

there are however some pitfalls, espesially with arguments passed by
reference: there not the parameter will be modified but you will have a
tuple as a return value.

Yeah, ctypes isn't all that easy to work with I'm afraid. Ultimately,
your problem is with your scanner's SDK; if it's poorly documented,
it's not going to be any easier working from Python than it would be
from C. I would advise following their non-COM instructions as closely
as you can, and seeing where that leads you. If their docs are online,
post us a link; it's possible someone here may be familiar with it, or
at very least be able to help you with the translation to Python.

Good luck!

Help accessing COM .dll from Python

First time post -
be gentle with me :-)
  
I am trying to write a Python script to
  access a scanning device.  I
  have an SDK for the scanner but the documentation is a bit limited and the supplier doesn't support
  Python (but Python is
  the best option for me in the
current circumstances). 
  
  
  The SDK revolves around a .dll file that is described as a 'COM Object'
but the text also implies that it can be accessed directly - "If you don’t use the COM
  interface in your application and use the SDK files
  directly like in VC++ then you don’t need to install
  these files on the destination computer".  If I look
  inside the .dll (thanks PE Explorer!), I see DllCanUnload,
  DllGetClassObject, DllRegisterServer and
  DllUnregisterServer in the 'Export' view.  If I
  look at the 'Import' view, I can
see the names of a bunch of .dll files and the
names of the functions/methods
I want to call.  So I concluded that  DllGetClassObject
  would be my
friend.

  
  However, I've read
  various tutorials on using .dll and COM (ctypes,
  comtypes, and the Python documentation) and I've
  ended up more confused than when
I started.  I expected to be
  using COM but all the examples seem to revolve
  around automating excel or outlook.

I'd be really grateful for
  some hints on what direction I should be headed

Python has one textmining library. 
[Sorry for the spelling mistake in earlier post].

As I see it can be downloaded from,

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/textmining/1.0

(Intel)] on win32 with IDLE as GUI and Windows 7 as OS.

I am not getting how to download and use it.
