OK, I have more information that may help. Looking into the code
invoked by IA.clsAuthorizeBatch(), I've found that the hangup occurs in
the call to pythoncom.new in CoClassBaseClass in
win32com\client\__init__.py.
Interestingly, if I run the code in the "main" Twisted thread, it
executes without a problem (this is running the source, with py2exe out
of the picture). If I run it in a subthread (using Twisted's
DeferToThread) it hangs in the following call:
oo = pythoncom.new(IA.clsAuthorizeBatch.CLSID)
.. where IA is the gen_py file, as before. The COM DLL is implemented
in VB with a single threaded model (although I've tried making it
apartment threaded as well).
I can't go any deeper at the python level, since pythoncom is a DLL.
As before, any advice appreciated ...
I wrote previously:
I'm developing a Python service under Win XP with Python 2.5 (the
service is built on Twisted's XMLRPC server). For delivery to
production, I "compile" it with py2exe. It's been running fine, but
I've hit a snag.
I've written new code to access a COM object (in a DLL); the code I've
written does works successfully as long as I'm running the source under
PythonService.
The compiled version, however, hangs up in the call to Dispatch to get
the COM object. I've put in debugging log entries all through the
relevant section of code, and it's clear that it simply never returns
from the Dispatch call. I've tried EnsureDispatch as well, and more
recently the following code:
iab = IA.clsAuthorizeBatch()
auth = DispatchEx(iab.CLSID)
... where I've imported the gen_py module under the name IA (I've copied
the module file to the same folder as the service, so there's no issue
with py2exe or the executable not being able to find it). In this case,
the hangup occurs in the first statement. I've tried running the code
with and without wrapping it in CoInitialize/Couninitialize.
I've run out of things I can think of to try, or even to get a hint of
what might be getting hung up. One last bit of data: looking at the
process in Process Explorer, I see that it's very busy for several
seconds (about 50% CPU), then goes quiet.
Any good words appreciated,
