Does anybody else find it odd that the ActiveState Python installer for
windows includes the win32 extensions, and the .zip with the Debug version
of the python extensions also includes the win32 extensions, but the source
.zip does not?
I was hoping for a nice integrated source tree with just one project file
(or make file at least) that I could load and with one click build debug
versions of everything. Instead I'll have to go back to the hodgepodge of a
released python source tree and a cvs tree for win32all that I was never
able to get to build before so I don't have high hopes of getting to build
now... (BTW, there is no ActivePython 203 tag in the win32all CVS sources.)
Assuming the debug versions in ActivePython-Debug-2.0.0.203.zip will be
enough to help me track down my problem, how do I get it to use the *_d.dll
files in the system dir? When I try to "import pythoncom" from python_d.exe
it tells me that there is no such module. I seem to recall that there are
some registry entries to control this but when I changed the obvious ones in
HKLM/Software/Python/PythonCore/2.0/Modules there was no effect. It would
be nice if there was a little python script distributed with the Debug zip
that could switch back and forth...
BTW, if anyone is feeling adventurous (are you listening Mark?) the problem
I am trying to solve is here (watch out for a wrapped URL):

Basically, trying to load an ActiveX control in a wxPython window GPF's on
Win95, Win98, WinMe, but runs perfectly fine on NT or Win2k. The problem
can be reduced to the following four statements:
import wxPython.wx
import pywin.mfc.activex
import win32com.client.gencache
module = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule(
"{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}", 0, 1, 1) # IE
The GPF happens in the 4th statement, and if I remove either of the first
two then the remaing three statements run fine, so there seems to be some
interaction between wxPython.wx and pywin.mfc.activex that doesn't show up
until later on.
