Mark,
This script:
set interp = CreateObject("Python.Interpreter")
interp.Exec "import sys"
Is this not calling a local computers installation of Python?
If you built a DLL via py2exe and registered that, then it will not be
using the local installation of Python but a copy of Python which py2exe
has packaged up. That is basically the entire point of py2exe.
I read over several times the Py2Exe docs and the chapter 12 stuff on
making the .dll and .exe. I always compile with both being made and test my
programs and they work fine.
This example that you pointed me to and I had already read seems to
indicate that the Python is already on that computer by calling that
CreateObject method.
It does not answer my original question, for looking around it seems all
examples assume the Python is already installed.
I read the way you use specific commands inside all definitions to
indicate what you want to expose and not expose, but where is the complete
example of someone installing th e .dll and or .exe into a machine that does
not have Python and registering assuming that?
A py2exe created package does not need Python installed to work.
However, it also doesn't perform the actual installation - you want
something like nsis or inno for that.
Question number 2, I attempted to download the latest win32 packages one
compiled/built July 2009 and May of this year. In both cases I could not
install the .exe and the error was saying both are corrupted!
I have heard that internet explorer can get upset with the installation
files for some reason - can you try a different browser? Or even try
and start the installer executable from Windows itself instead of via
IE? FWIW, the files on sourceforge are fine.
Now, I need a direct link to the actual download and not a third party,
jump, moved to another page link, for I think I may have been directed to a
virus loaded page to download these files.
The files are hosted on sourceforge and they often redirect you to a
mirror. I'm afraid I'm not sure of what the canonical location of the
"actual download" is, but I'd be very very surprised if one of their
mirrors added a virus.
Cheers,
Mark
So, I need a good example on what I had asked below and the page to have
the latest Python2.5 com and win32 packages to run with, for I have only
2007 versions on my computer.
Sincerely
Bruce

VBS?
Please keep replies on the python-win32 list - others may also be able
to help you too.
You might like to check out the sample in samples\pywin32\com_server in
the py2exe distribution - that demonstrates a simple COM object and has
a VBScript sample which calls it.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I wanted to have the python and other modules from a py2exe
accessible
from vb script. So I would need to have the best documentation on how to
set
up the python com library to be able to call it from vb script. This is
not
using a web server, but inside a screen reader script language. The one I
am
using is Windoweyes Scripting language which has all or most windows
methods
and the external xml file for screen displays.
I am a blind programmer and use the screen reader with a built in vb
script programming language. So, knowing Python I want to be able to call
those module methods at will. I have made executables but they reside in a
sub directory of Windoweyes and are limited to only what the .exe file
does
and not flexible beyond that point.
I was given snap shots of examples but they are very spotty and
actual
say they show a vb script example, but none was displayed.
I am assuming that you have to make a class for all the modules you
want
to be able to call, but not really sure on that. I have spent all evening
trying to find examples and such and came up with almost nothing but an
old
activestate 2.4 brief description which said little on what to do.
So, this is where I am at the moment and have found little to explain
fully what to do. It showed a way to set up the py2exe but the so called
example call from vb script was not there but it said it was. The typical
hello script example.
So, what I need is a very good tutorial on how to step by step make
the
class and compile it to a distributle so it can be registered and called
as
a com or automation call from vb script. Using what I would assume to be
the
CreatObject command in vbs to make an instance of that
object/module/method.
I am blind, so no pictures, I need just plain text to do it.
Sincerely
Bruce

Hi Again,
To be more specific I have compiled the Python inside a distributed
package and need to know how to call from within that compiled package
any method. In other words do I have to register the Python inside my
.vbs script before calling any methods?
I am saying this so another user does not need to install Python, just
call using com inside the distributed Python compiled version.
If so, how do I get the Python setup or in a form to call? I will be
doing all the calls from .VBS and how would the CreateObject from there
be done to setup to call the compiled Python interpreter?
You should develop and test using normal Python, then once you want to
distribute it to others, look into py2exe to "compile" it and an
installer program such as nsis or inno so the user can simply install it.
Hope this helps,
Mark
