Re: [python-win32] passing array by reference (3)

I missed your second questions: I have no experience with this. But it looks like one could wrap a Python-array in such a VARIANT object and hand this to CATIA, like: v = VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_BYREF | pythoncom.VT_ARRAY | pythoncom.VT_R4, 12*[1.]) Worth a try. Peter Enenkel schrieb am 19.02.2017

Re: [python-win32] printing landscape in Windows

Think about using a batch print tool like http://www.verypdf.com/app/pdf-print-cmd/ or http://www.doc2prn.com/ I used the first one and implemented a Python script to create the command (it prints more than PDF). Some professional printer offer a webserver where you can upload the files. Check

I am one 2.5 user, too. Reason is, that thanks to 4Suite (which is a fantastic XML framework) we are bound to 2.5. I didn't find a better XML framework for Python but it's not gonna developed further and will not be ported to 3.x (reminds me of contacting Jeremy Kloth for a port to a newer Pytho

Re: [python-win32] Tkinter newbie

Hi John, seems you lack basic understanding of Python (and perhaps programming languages at all?). I recommend you reading a book like "Learning Python" from Mark Lutz or check some courses on https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Programmers Then you will learn the differences between att

Hi Anton, I think you need to rely to generated Python-Com-objects aka early binding. See http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/generate-a-static-com-proxy.html for details. There was another page explaining the differences really nicely between late and early binding and how to enforce t

Re: [python-win32] Referring to default (unnamed) property

Hi £ukasz, when you use a COM-Interface via VB for example things like foo.bar(0) = "foo" are possible (as I just read these are properties). In Python this syntax is not working. Instead, getters and setters are generated by PyWin. I guess somewhere (probably in the files generated by Dispat
