Thomas, pywin32 does not have such as problem. I can launch AutoCAD with:
import win32com.client
acadApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoCAD.Application")
Btw, AutoCAD has built-in VBA support.

Hm, is this a bug in Autocad, or is comtypes behaving wrong here; does this
error code mean we have to wait a little and retry the call? How do other
COM clients, like VB or pywin32, behave?

In comtypes 0.4.1, safearrays containing com pointers are not implemented.
They are, though, in the current SVN version. I wanted to release the next
version
after another MicroStation bug was examined, but the OP did not yet respond to
my question. Maybe you can help; or I should release anyway? See

I just tested under comtypes 0.3 and 0.4 with Autocad 2008. I get this

I think this happens because comtypes is trying to talk to Autocad before it
is finished its post startup initialization (loading modules, CUI, lisp
files).
Using client.GetActiveObject on the other hand successfully generates the
Autocad modules and returns a pointer to the first running instance. It
doesn't work if Autocad isn't running though.

Hm, the exception seems to be raised when the module is generated. Please look
into the comtypes\gen directory, do you find a (valid) AutoCAD.py file, and the
file
that is imported by AutoCad.py?
If so, can you please look into the latter if there is a 'IAcadApplication'
interface
defined?
If not, you should probably set a breakpoint on line 132 in
comtypes\client\__init__.py,
and inspect the generated module (which has not yet been written to disk). Or
put a line
print dir(mod)
must before line 133 in this file. This should provide some insight.

You should remove *all* the files in the comtyes\gen directory and try again.

[comtypes-users] problem using comtypes with AutoCAD
Hello group,
I'm getting an error when trying to launch AutoCAD using comtypes. The
application does get started. But the variable 'app' does not seem to hold a
valid instance of it, because I was not able to access its properties such as
ActiveDocument, WindowState, etc..
This is copied from Python shell:
>>> import comtypes
>>> comtypes.__version__
'0.4.2'
>>> app = comtypes.client.CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application")
# Generating comtypes.gen.AutoCAD
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in

line 202, in CreateObject
return _manage(obj, clsid, interface=interface)
File "C:\Programming\Python\Install\comtypes\comtypes\client\__init__.py",

line 133, in GetBestInterface
interface = getattr(mod, itf_name)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'IAcadApplication'
Any idea why?
(btw, if I remember correctly, I didn't used to get this error. But I was using
an earlier version comtypes and an earlier version of AutoCAD.)
Thanks.
