Hi, I am observing a strange behaviour of two python com-servers/addins, one of them is called from Excel VBA the other one is an Outlook (both from Office 2003) addin.
Both of them work if I register them and start using Outlook or Excel thereafter. However when I log out and login the next time, both of them fail to load. Excel is showing an error message when CreateObject("addin") is called, showing a python traceback from somewhere within win32com (only parts of it since the window cannot be resized). Outlook silently ignores the addin and in the list of com_addins it is marked as deactivated. Re-registering solves the problem until the next login. Interestingly I get them to work if I start e.g. spyder (a python IDE) before making calls to the com servers. It does not seem to help though, if I only open a python shell. This sounds like a timeout issue to me. Do you know what might be the cause and what I can do about it?
