I've just released comtypes-0.6.0!
Summary of important changes:
- Added a 'dynamic' keyword parameter to comtypes.client.CreateObject()
and other creation functions. If 'dynamic=True' is passed then no
wrapper module is generated if the COM object supports dynamic
dispatch. This can save quite some time or disk space since the
wrapper modules can be huge.
- Bugfixes
Detailed changes since version 0.5.3:
2008-12-19 Thomas Heller <thel...@python.net>
* Bumped version number to 0.6.0.
* comtypes.client.lazybind.Dipatch:
If __getitem__ fails the get the indexed default value, try
NewENUM. Implement __eq__ for Python 3 compatibility.
* Fix a problem with SAFEARRAYs where the contained data was
released too early.
* Fix property get handling for FUNC_PUREVIRTUAL functions in
lazybind.py
2008-12-18 Thomas Heller <thel...@python.net>
* Fix memoryleak in IEnumVARIANT.
2008-12-12 Thomas Heller <thel...@python.net>
* Merged changes from the dyndispatch branch:
* Add a comtypes.client.Constants class that provides a way to
access constants in the type library for an object, even when
no wrapper has been created for the type library. The
contants can be accessed as attributes like this, assuming
'obj' is a COM object that exposes type information at runtime
via the dispatch interface:
Constants(obj).MyConstant
* New comtypes.client.lazybind module.
* Implement NamedProperty.__call__(). Extend
NamedProperty.__getitem__() and NamedProperty.__setitem__() so
that they accept a tuple, which make lazy bound objects more
compatible with early bound objects.
* Finished (for now) the comtypes.client.lazybind module.
IEnumVARIANT instances get a _dynamic attribute which defaults
to False. The values returned from next() calls are retrived
by calling ._set_value(self._dynamic) on the VARIANT result.
* comtypes.client.dynamic:
* Started changes based on ideas from Michael Curran: better
dynamic dispatch support, and a way to disable the
time-consuming wrapper code generation on demand.
* comtypes\client: Add a new 'dynamic=False' parameter to the
CreateObject function. This parameter allows to create a
dynamic dispatch object, bypassing the code generation.
* comtypes\automation.py: Add a new parameter to the
VARIANT._get_value(dynamic=False) method. This allows to
retrieve the current value as a _Dispatch() instance if the
typecode is VT_DISPATCH, bypassing the code generation on the
result. The IDispatch.Invoke implementation now uses this to
ensure that dynamic objects are returned when possible.
* comtypes\client\dynamic.py: Implement _Dispatch.__eq__ so
that we can compare instances for equality.
