Subject: import dde failure; server Create failure
Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2017 10:43:01 -0400
To: python-win32@python.org
I'm running 64-bit Python 2.7.13 under Windows 7, and I've installed
build 220 of Mark Hammond's package.
When I try this:
import win32ui, dde
from a Windows 7 command window, I receive the message "This must be an
MFC application - try 'import win32ui' first".
I get the same message when I try three separate imports, in this order:
import win32ui
import dde
When I try the same import statement from PythonWin, it succeeds.
And when I follow that up with
server = dde.CreateServer()
that succeeds as well.
But when I follow that up with
server.Create("any text here")
I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
error: The server could not be created
What I really need is for dde to work from a Windows 7 command window,
but I can't even import it.
Help!
