Many of the PyWin32 extensions depend on pywintypesXX.dll, and some depend on pythoncomXX.dll. There's a post-installation script that copies them either to the System32 directory or to Python's installation directory (i.e. the location of python.exe). The latter is better if you're doing this manually. There's no reason to pollute System32. If you're developing a service, pythonerservice.exe depends on pythonXX.dll, so copy pythonservice.exe to Python's installation directory as well if pythonXX.dll is located there instead of in System32. You can use relative symlinks instead of copies if Python is installed on a file system that supports reparse points, such as the system volume (NTFS). For example: >>> print(os.readlink(os.path.join(sys.prefix, 'pywintypes37.dll'))) Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32\pywintypes37.dll Then if you upgrade PyWin32, you won't have to remember to replace the old copies. > I've had the same error before and I solved it by adding the location where > the win32 dlls live to PATH. Maybe PATH gets messed up during the > installation of something. In Python 3.8, PATH isn't used when loading extension modules. It's also not used when loading DLLs via ctypes. In many cases this change isn't an issue since dependendent DLLs are in the same directory as the extension module. If not, add the directory that has the dependencies via os.add_dll_directory(). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How to use win32api package to send to printer a file in memory
I have an Angular application that is communicating via websocket with a python app. Actually, I save the file in Angular, then I pass to the websocket the file path and I print it by win32api.ShellExecute. Anyway, I do not really need to save the file, so would be much better to send the content though the websocket and then then print it. Can anyone send me some code snippet to show: 1. Which is the best data structure to receive the file content via websocket (bytes array?) 2. How to invoke win32api.ShellExecute, or equivalent function, to print the content.

Re: can't find win32api from embedded pyrun call
the problem was: ActivePython does not install debug libraries, so you must link with release libraries in your project. but if you run the debug version, you're linking against debug libraries which conflict with the ones linked to by python. "fixed" by running the release version. basically, it's not possible to debug with ActivePython due to ActiveState not including debug libs. grr -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You'll likely get more input from the guys on the python-win32 list. Most times I've come across this issue it's been because the pywin32 package (or the whole Python distribution if you're using ActiveState) was not installed as an administrator / elevated. I'm not sure I've ever fathomed why, and the investigation isn't helped by the import dance which the pywin32 code does. I don't remember solving it without a reinstall on the user's machine.

Re: can't find win32api from embedded pyrun call
I find i'm having this problem, but the solution you found isn't quite specific
enough for me to be able to follow it.
I'm embedding Python27 in my app. I have users install ActivePython27 in order
to take advantage of python in my app, so the python installation can't be
touched as it's on a user's machine.
When I attempt to do:
>import win32api
i get this:
>Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "startup.py", line 5, in
>ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I someone suggested i manually load the dependent libraries in the correct
order, like this:
>import pywintypes
>import pythoncom
>import win32api
but then i get this:
>Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "startup.py", line 3, in

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
the ultimate goal here is actually to do this:
>from win32com.client.gencache import EnsureDispatch
which currently yields:

Python, the Win32api, and directing input to game clients
I'm trying to use python to create a sort of control bridge between IRC and the Neverwinter Nights game client. One direction (output) is easy; the game, conveniently, writes its logs to a text file - polling and parsing do the rest in that regard. However, input, as yet, eludes me. I've fooled around with the windows api, but both SendKeys and SendMessage fail to register on the game window. When testing in Notepad, the text and other keypresses appear as planned. They do not, however, in Neverwinter. It's been suggested on some sites I've come across that Win32API calls might not work on games because the games are coded "closer to the metal", as it were, and don't fall under the abstraction of the Win32 shell. Basically, a) can anyone give me a pointer in a direction I should be heading, and/or b) is the Win32api a dead end for this goal?

I just learned how to do this myself. I tested this revision on WinXP
Python 2.5.
from ctypes import *
netapi32= cdll.LoadLibrary( 'netapi32.dll' )
cname=c_wchar_p('[mycompname]')
level=c_int(1)
#bufptr=create_string_buffer('\00', 1)
bufptr=c_void_p(0)
prefmaxlen=c_int()
entriesread=c_long(0)
totalentries=c_long(0)
resume=c_long(0)
prototype= WINFUNCTYPE( c_int,
c_wchar_p,
c_int,
POINTER( c_void_p ),
c_int,
POINTER( c_long ),
POINTER( c_long ),
POINTER( c_long )
)
NetShareEnum= prototype( ( "NetShareEnum", netapi32 ) )
result= NetShareEnum(cname,
level,
pointer(bufptr),
prefmaxlen,
byref(entriesread),
byref(totalentries),
byref(resume)
)
print result
print cname, level, bufptr, prefmaxlen, entriesread, totalentries,
resume
The 'bufptr' parameter receives a pointer to a buffer on return, which
you then have to free using NetApiBufferFree. Here is my output:
0
c_wchar_p(u'[mycompname]') c_long(1) c_void_p(2382504) c_long()
c_long(2) c_l
ong(2) c_long(0)
'bufptr' now points to an array of SHARE_INFO_1 structures, which you
will have to define too. It copied 2/2 entries, or 'entriesread' /
'totalentries'. Return 0 indicates success.

"no module named win32api" using PyWin32-208
Hi.
I have Python 2.4 installed on my local machine in c:\Python24. I have
also downloaded the python for windows extensions installer
pywin32-208.win32-py2.4.exe and installed this to
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages
Trying to run a python script through a C# console app is causing me
problems: the last line of code in the following block results in a no
module named win32ap error. I'm not sure if this is because there is no
win32api.py in the win32 fikder off site-packages, just a win32api.pyc
file.
m_engine = new PythonEngine();
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24\\DLLs");
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24\\lib");
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24\\lib\\plat-win");
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24\\lib\\lib-tk");
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24\\Lib\\site-packages\\pythonwin");
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24");
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages");
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32");
m_engine.AddToPath("C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib");
m_engine.Execute("from win32api import win32api");
I have added all the addtopaths to get the path to match the sys.path I
see in a normal python console which can successfully import the
module.
Incidentally, I have tried making the last line
m_engine.Execute("import win32api");
with no luck.
Can the win32 extensions handle compiled python modules? If not how can
I get it to work?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Miki. Actually that doesn't turn out to be the problem. If I
display sys.path within the embedded script, it shows the complete list
of paths, there is no need to pre-load.
The problem turned out to be a mismatch of parts. For one thing,
building the debug lib from Python sources using VS2005 leads to the
crash in PyInitialize (I don't know why others haven't run into this);
building with VS2003 did away with that. But that then led to the
well-known problem with a FILE* where the app is using one msvcrt and
the lib another. At some point in fixing these issues, the "cannot
find win32api" went away.
I now use this trick from a colleague which allows me to build a debug
version of my app but load the release version of the lib: bracket the
"#include python.h" statement with undef/redef of _DEBUG.
And this trick to get around the FILE* problem (since my app is VS2005
and the lib is 2003): instead of PyRun_SimpleFile, use
PyRun_SimpleString ("execfile(fname)"). I got this from the win32 FAQ.
I hope someone benefits from this, it cost me plenty to figure out.

IIRC you need to set the path explicitly in an embedded interpreter.
See the code in "site.py" (which again IMO is *not* imported when the
interpreter starts).

can't find win32api from embedded pyrun call
I am trying to figure out how to embed Python in a little C++ Windows
console app. Here's the code:
// Py_Initialize();
Py_InitializeEx(0);
PyRun_SimpleString("from win32com.client import *");
Here's what it does on the last line:
File "D:\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\__init__.py", line 5, in ?
import win32api, sys, ok
ImportError: No module named win32api
The same line runs fine in IDLE or at the command prompt. It also runs
without complaint if I run a release version of the app. To build the
debug version I had to build python42_d.lib/dll myself. The reason I
can't call PyInitialize is that it crashes with an "invalid signal"
error.
I don't think it's a path issue -- I've checked system path, sys.path,
pythonpath env var, and the pythonpath entry in the registry, all of
them loaded with directories including the one with win32api.pyd.
Besides, if it were an install or path problem, why would it work at
the command prompt?
Could it be a problem with the debug lib I built? Any suggestions are
welcome.
