Re: [python-win32] detecting windows type
Maybe I can parse the output of a 'ipfonfig' command, but commands.getoutput only work with unix, not with windows. Is there another way to get the output of a command line program under windows ? K.

[python-win32] Localization
Hi, new to the list and to Python but enthusiastically on the move into both... I am from the world outside A-Za-z country. I wrote a simple text processing application in Python which I eventually would like to integrate with Microsoft Word. Right away, the following localization problems popped up: -- Sorting is done incorrectly for non-a-z letters. -- Using \W for whitespace in a regular expression makes it treat those non-a-z letters as whitespace, thus breaking words that should not be broken. -- Not yet sure if folding to lower-case is done correctly. How should I handle this in Python? I post on this list, since Windows by itself has good support for localization (altering the sorting sequence etc) as you know, though I am not familiar with the Windows calls for this.

[python-win32] handling paths in windows services
I get the following error when trying to run a python script as a service The instance's SvcRun() method failed File win32serviceutil.pyc, line 742, in SvcRun File winService.pyc, line 134, in SvcDoRun File winService.pyc, line 83, in RunMe File config.pyc, line 28, in readConfig exceptions.IOError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'svc.cfg') The 'svc.cfg' is on the the same directory that contains the python script, but its path is obviously not available to the windows service. Short of using absolute paths, what would be the correct way to handle this. Thank you ___ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
[python-win32] path to START MENU folder
Title: path to START MENU folder
Somewhere I found this code to get the path to the DESKTOP folder:
from win32com.shell import shell
df = shell.SHGetDesktopFolder()
pidl = df.ParseDisplayName(0, None,::{450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103})[1]
mydocs = shell.SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl)
print mydocs
When I execute it, I get this: C:\Documents and Settings\freddy\My Documents.
That's ok. Now, I want to get the START MENU folder for all users, which is something like: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Freddy Chavez.

shell.SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0,shellcon.CSIDL_COMMON_STARTMENU) should do the trick. Roger ___ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

Hola Freddy Another way of doing it would be to use the WScript.Shell object: import win32com.client objShell = win32com.client.Dispatch(WScript.Shell) allUserDocs = objShell.SpecialFolders(AllUsersDesktop) print allUserDocs similarly you can use the following to obtain access to other special folders: AllUsersDesktop,AllUsersStartMenu,AllUsersPrograms,AllUsersStartupDesktop,Favorites,Fonts,MyDocuments,NetHood,PrintHood,Recent,SendToStartMenu,Startup Templates Saludos Peter Jessop ___ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

Ipconfig is NT-only. 95 and 98 have winipcfg, but it is a GUI tool, not a command-line tool. but commands.getoutput only work with unix, not with windows. Is there another way to get the output of a command line program under windows ? The usual way is to use os.popen, which works everywhere. However, as I said, that won't help you with this information. In fact, it is surprisingly difficult to get information about the network interfaces on a 95/98 machine.
