[python-win32] Fonts behaving differently with Py3/216
I recently tried running PyGUI on Python 3 using pywin32 build 216, and a couple of things are not working quite the same way as they were with Python 2 and build 213. 1) The default font used for control labels etc. is slightly smaller. 2) When I calculate the width of a piece of text using DC.GetTextExtent() I get a value that is too small, and doesn't match the actual size of the text as it is drawn. Anyone have any idea what might have changed, and what I can do about it? -- Greg ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

Anyone have any idea what might have changed, and what I can do about it? What version of python and how many bits? I'm guessing you tried 3.2, which means you must have used the 64bit version (as the 32 bit version of pywin32 appears to have 2.x syntax .py files). Assuming you've been using 32bit builds on 2.x, I guess that could point to a bug in the 64bit port of pywin32? The only other thing I can think if is the manifest changes - windows uses the manifest of the owning hmodule for some things (notably the version of the common controls used), which is why the winxpgui module exists. It seems unlikely, but I wonder if those changes have told windows to put things in some kind of compatibility mode.

Is there some tool I can use to examine them and see whether anything is different? The Windows SDK (and I assume VC - haven't checked) comes with a manifest tool - mt.exe. The syntax is fairly obscure, but it allows you to extract, change and add manifests (but not remove them AFAIK). Note the manifest ID for DLLs is 2 - so the command to extract would be something like: mt.exe -inputresource:path\to\whatever.pyd;#2 -out:out.txt HTH, Mark ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
[python-win32] Mapping Drives in Python
Hi:
Hoping you guys can help out a python noob here.
I have a list of machines that I am backing up flat files from to one
central machine. I need to:
a) Map Drives and b) run robocopy
I am iterating through a text file that has the share names and the and
directory that I want to be created:
count = 0
alphabet = 'klmnopqrstuv'
today = datetime.date.today()
backup_servers = {}
f = open('c:/test/backup_shares.txt')
for line in f:
backup_server = line.split(',')
backup_servers[ backup_server[0]]=backup_server[1]
for i, v in backup_servers.items():
backup_shares = i
archive_dir = v.strip()
archive_dir += str(today)
drive_letter = alphabet[count]
count += 1
The above creates a dictionary and I iterate through that.
backup_shares = '\\server_name\c$' for example and archive_dir is the
directory on the local machine that I will create with a timestamp to backup
the files to on the local machine example d:\backup_dir\03-03-2011\files
What I want to do is map a drive, which is why the alphabet string. I
iterate through that and then get k first backup dir, etc.
I'm not sure what method to call to map a drive or how the best way to call
robocopy is. I don't have the choice of using IronPython. I have the win32
modules.
And this works:
win32net.NetUseAdd(None,1,{'remote':r'\\server_name\c$','local':'K:'})
However, I want to use the variable backup_server and insert the
drive_letter variable in the script snippet, but I haven't been able to make
that work. Any suggestions?
Also, suggestions and examples on calling robocopy?
Thanks so much!
Becky
