Re: [python-win32] Exception setting a string using COM

I was able to resolve this. The file application was interacting with resided on a network share. Once I copied it to a local volume I was able to manipulate the string without a problem. Thanks, Aleksandr Tim Roberts wrote: Aleksandr VLADIMIRSKIY wrote: I'm attempting to set a string

Re: [python-win32] building pywin32 on Server 2003 x64

Hi Mark Pedantic side-note: best I can tell, all the compilers are x86 binaries, so even on a 64bit OS, we are still cross-compiling :) You are of course correct, I should have said I am developing on a 64 bit machine. Grab the source .zip for build 211 now it is fresh, but otherwise, a

Re: [python-win32] Vista, _winreg and Access denied

Hello, I've passed some time reading the MS coding guide for Vista http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756973.aspx It explains that an app requiring administrator rights (modify HKLM, write in C:\Windows\, etc.) will always return Access denied or ask the user for UAC if it's launched

Re: [python-win32] pywin32 build 211 released

Mark: The main download link at https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ is still pointing to version 210. My quick test of 211 seems fine. In particular the adodbapi project software lands just where it should and works just as it should. As soon as the pywin32 main download is switched to

[python-win32] adodbapi SQL access micro how-to (pywin32 build 211)

I've just had a success story with the adodbapi now included in build 211, and thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know how to do it. My application ran a very gnarly SQL script against master..sysprocesses to identify blocked SQL requests. It tended to crash python when the MSSQL

Hello Tim, Thank you for your reply. I tried to use the setPath method and no luck: In [26]: item.setPath('') --- exceptions.AttributeErrorTraceback (most recent call last) C:\coe\ipython

Re: [python-win32] pywin32 build 211 released

Seeing as nothing has caught fire in the few days since I made the release, I updated the SF page to point at build 211 - it does still have a note that b210 is the most recent stable version, so I think it's a good compromise :) Cheers, Mark From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Re: [python-win32] USB CDC-class support with win32file, exception processing issues

I'm afraid I don't have many insights. Using overlapped IO may solve your problem of not knowing if an error occurred or not, but I don't think it will solve your general problem. One thing that might be worth looking at are device notifications, which may be able to inform you of the removal -
