...I've started getting problems with dynamic dispatch
eg
PythonWin 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

>>> import win32com.client.dynamic
>>> word = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch("Word.Application")

I'm running xp sp2 with word 2003 (I think it's version 11). The code I'm using is based entirely on the test stuff.
When I run the test I see the following
C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\test>testMSOffice.py
Starting Word 8 for dynamic test
Starting Word 7 for dynamic test
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\test\testMSOffice.py", line 138, in TestAll
TestWord()
File "C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\test\testMSOffice.py", line 41, in TestWord
TestWord7(word)
File "C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\test\testMSOffice.py", line 49, in TestWord7
word.FileNew()
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\test>testMSOffice.py
Starting Word 8 for dynamic test
Starting Word 8 for non-lazy dynamic test
Starting Word 7 for dynamic test
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\test\testMSOffice.py", line 138, in TestAll
TestWord()

TestWord7(word)
File "C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\test\testMSOffice.py", line 49, in TestWord7
word.FileNew()
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
nothing happens in the first run, but the second does open word and do the writes etc. After I have done the tesMSOffice I see that
>>> word = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch("Word.Application")
>>>works as expected. Is word non-dynamic now?
As an extra nastiness my test code also works after the testMSOffice run, but seems to disable it for the next run. My test looks like
def doWordDoc(wd):
wd.Visible=1
doc=wd.Documents.Add()
wrange=doc.Range()
for i in xrange(10):
wrange.InsertAfter("Hello from Python %d\n" % i)
paras = doc.Paragraphs
for i in xrange(len(paras)):
p = paras[i]()
p.Font.ColorIndex = i+1
p.Font.Size = 12 + (4 * i)
del wrange, paras, p
doc.Close(SaveChanges = 0)
wd.Quit()
del docand is missing the win32api.sleep(1000).
Any ideas? -- Robin Becker _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
