The same thing happens with just this code running, and this code running with additional python code running in the process.

It took me quite some time to figure out where MY problem with your code was: I has the impression that I need to enter at least TWO words into the IE address bar to trigger the URLSearchHook. Now I found that I have to enter a single word, and then the Translate methods are called. So, I can (when I have time) investigate the issue deeper. > >> So the questions are: >> Have we done something in our implementation that is causing this issue? >> Is there an issue with how _ctypes.pyd is handling the GIL for these >> calls? Michael, can it be that you have more Python objects loaded into the InternetExplorer process? In other words, is the Python interpreter shared by several com objects or other python code that is running in this process? -- Thanks, Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ comtypes-users mailing list comtypes-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/comtypes-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ comtypes-users mailing list comtypes-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/comtypes-users
