I'm happy to announce the 0.6.2 comtypes release:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/comtypes/
Here are the release notes:
comtypes 0.6.2 released.
Summary of important changes:
- Several bug fixes for COM event handlers implemented in Python.
- Allow typelib wrappers that (wrongly?) contain
'SAFEARRAY(VARIANT)*'.
- DllCanUnloadNow() always returns S_FALSE in comtypes inproc
COM servers.
- The COM interfaces IViewObject, IViewObject2, and
IViewObjectEx in the new module comtypes.viewobject.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detailed changelog since version 0.6.0:
2010-01-15 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Bumped version number to 0.6.2.
* CoUninitialize() returns nothing, not HRESULT.
2009-12-22 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Bug fixes for event handlers implemented in Python.
2009-12-11 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* COM servers implemented in Python can now fire events; it did
not work in some cases.
* When an exception occurs in a COM event handler, a traceback is
printed.
2009-11-26 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Allow typelib wrappers that contain 'SAFEARRAY(VARIANT*)'
parameter types to be imported. Calling these methods will fail,
though.
2009-11-13 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* To avoid a memory leak when PyInitialize()/PyUninitialize() are
called several times, return S_FALSE from inproc server's
DllCanUnloadNow().
2009-11-05 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* COMObject subclasses can now implement a _final_release_()
method to free up resources, for example. This method is called
when the COM reference count reaches zero.
* Implement __hash__ method in dynamic dispatch classes. This
fixes a 'python -3' warning.
* comtypes\safearray.py: When numpy is not installed, creating
safearrays took a very long time. This is fixed now.
* comtypes\test\test_server.py: New way to test COM client and
server. Work in progress.
2009-10-22 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Support broken COM objects that provide IProvideClassInfo2, but
not IProvideClassInfo (although the latter is derived from the
former). See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2829887&group_id=115265&atid=692942
* Fixed a regression from the 0.4 version, [out] parameters didn't
accept pointers or arrays any longer. Thanks again to Michael
Eddington.
2009-10-19 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Fix a memory leak in Python COM servers. Thanks to Michael
Eddington for the patch.
2009-10-02 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* comtypes\test\test_server.py: Start a better approach to test
both COM object calls and COM object implementations.
2009-09-09 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Fix returning SAFEARRAY of VT_RECORDs. Based on a patch from
Eduardo Arias.
* New module comtypes.viewobject, contains the interfaces
IViewObject, IViewObject2, IViewObjectEx. IAdviseSink is faked.
* Change version number to 0.6.2dev.
2009-09-04 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* CoTaskMemFree does not return a HRESULT. Patch from James Teh.
2009-08-19 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Bumped version number to 0.6.1.
2009-08-07 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* When an interface was specified in the call to
IClassObject.CreateInstance, return that instead of calling
GetBestInterface. Patch from James Teh.
2009-08-04 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Added comtypes.CoGetClassObject() low-level function,
comtypes.client.GetClassObject() high-level function, and
implemented a pythonic interface to IClassFactory's CreateInstance
method:
def CreateInstance(self,
punkouter=None,
interface=None,
dynamic=False)
* Added the 'dynamic=False' parameter to the
comtypes.client.CoGetObject and comtypes.client.GetActiveObject
functions. Suggested by James Teh.
2009-06-17 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* comtypes.automation: Support VT_I8 and VT_UI8 SAFEARRAYs.
* comtypes._comobject: Restore compatibility with Python 2.3.
* Add the comtypes.IServiceProvider interface. Based on a patch
from Michael Curran.
2009-04-30 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Change version number in repository to 0.6.0.2dev.
* Replace the VARIANTEnumerator implementation class in
comtypes.server.automation with a new one which should actually be
usable.
* A completely new way how localserver and inproc server instances
are managed:
A comtypes.LocalServer or comtypes.InprocServer instance
is attached to the comtypes.COMObject class at runtime.
These changes keep localserver running as long as
COMObject instances are alive.
2009-04-29 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* comtypes.errorinfo.ReportException now takes an additional
'stacklevel' named argument.
* Add E_OUTOFMEMORY hresult code.
* Register the InprocServer32 only when running as script or
py2exe dll, not when running as py2exe exe server.
2009-04-25 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* SAFEARRAYs can now also be created from multi-dimensional numpy
arrays.
2009-04-23 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Change version number in repository to 0.6.0.1dev.
* SAFEARRAYs can now also be created from array.array objects, and
from (one-dimensional) numpy arrays. This is a lot faster than
creating them from Python lists or tuples, at least for large
arrays.
* ctypes instances like c_int, c_ubyte, and so on can now be
assigned to VARIANT().value. This allows to force creation of
VARIANTs with the corresponding typecodes V_I4, VT_UI1 and alike.
* Accept typelibs that contain SAFEARRAY(char).
2009-03-17 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Fixed the return type of ITypeLib::ReleaseTLibAttr, which is
documented wrongly in MSDN. The return type is void, not HRESULT.
Reported to cause crashes on Windows 7.
2009-01-29 Thomas Heller <[email protected]>
* Restore compatibility with Python 2.3.
* comtypes\client\_code_cache.py: Add missing 'import types' in
comtypes\client\_code_cache.py.
