Hi all,
I'm working on a Tkinter app that is being deployed to Windows via
py2exe for wrapping and InnoSetup for its installer. In order to
provide a similar scripting capability to the app that is present in
its Mac version, I've made the app a COM server using the examples
from python-win32 code base.
I am running into two issues with the app that I would like some
clarification on:
1. What is the best way to register the exe as a COM server? I'm using
the code from the python-win32 extension to register the code
dynamically, but on Windows 7 this requires administrator
privileges--which means that the entire app must be run as an
administrator (via a flag in py2exe). This works, but seems overkill.
I understand from the list archives that there is no current built-in
way to escalate UAC privileges for a single function, cf. to register
the server. Is there another way to register the wrapped exe as a
server, i.e. from the command line (regsvr32) during the installation
phase?
For registering the com server we use innosetup with the following line
[Run]
Filename: "{app}\openclerk.exe"; Parameters: "/regserver"; WorkingDir:
"{app}" ; StatusMsg: "Registering openclerk.exe ..."
2. I am testing the app via a simple vbscript with a create object()
call and then running the command exported by the COM server. While my
app launches, it blocks forever, and then eventually the Windows
Scripting Host times out with an error ("couldn't create ActiveX
object"). Any suggestions on how to debug this?
usually you get this error because you miss some reference into py2exe
the way that we use to trace this error is to try catch all com method
even the __init__ and use the logging system:
here you get an example:
def SetIntegration(self, integrationObject, activeEditor=""):
"""
set the integration object
"""
try:
except:
print_exc_plus()
return E_FAIL
return S_O
def print_exc_plus():
"""
Print the usual traceback information, followed by a listing of
all the local variables in each frame.
"""
logging.error("*"*20)
for m in sys.exc_info():
logging.error(str(m))
logging.error("*"*20)
tb = sys.exc_info( )[2]
while tb.tb_next:
tb = tb.tb_next
stack = [ ]
f = tb.tb_frame
while f:
stack.append(f)
f = f.f_back
stack.reverse( )
traceback.print_exc()
logging.error( "Locals by frame, innermost last")
for frame in stack:
logging.error("Frame %s in %s at line %s" % (frame.f_code.co_name,
frame.f_code.co_filename,
frame.f_lineno))
for key, value in frame.f_locals.items():
# we must _absolutely_ avoid propagating exceptions, and
str(value)
# COULD cause any exception, so we MUST catch any...:
try:
logging.error("\t%20s = %s"%(key ,str(value)))
except:
logging.error( "<ERROR WHILE PRINTING VALUE>")
Regards,
Matteo
I can find no obvious error in my code and the app does start up
successfully, which tells me it's registered, but for some reason it
locks up before it can run its command. (The app does pop up a dialog
on startup, I don't know if that would have any effect or not.)
Thanks,
Kevin
