[python-win32] python 3 support
Hello, I am just starting a new activity where I need to intact with MS Project. Since this is a new topic, I intend to start using Python 3.2. However, as I understand I need to use the pywin32 package, which is not supporting Python 3. Is this assumption correct? Is there any alternativ package available, which allows me to import/export MS project files? Is there a plan to support Python 3 in pywin32 in future? Thanks a lot for your feedback, Roman Morawek ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

In my opinion -- and it is ONLY my opinion -- the smartest place to begin a new project today is with Python 2.7. The third-party library support is still too spotty in Python 3. It's getting there, but it's not there yet. (It is actually taking longer than I expected.) > Is there any alternativ package available, which allows me to > import/export MS project files? Remember that Python doesn't know anything about Project. You will be interactive with the Project application as a COM server. Python (with PyWin32) understands how to communicate with COM servers, but you won't find anything specific about Python and Project. You will need to translate the Project object model documentation from C++ or C# to Python. It's usually not that hard. There are LOTS of examples of controlling Word and Excel from Python, and the concepts are very similar. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

Maybe that's good enough for you. Just save a project as XML and have a look. The structure is not too complicated. Much easier to use than e.g. XML files from Word or Excel.

Re: [python-win32] problem AddLine AutoCAD win32com.client
Re-added the python-win32 list - please keep replies on list.
Your code uses:
> pt1 = array.array('d', [0.0,0.0,0.0])
> pt2=array.array('d',[1.0,1.0,__0.0])
But these aren't supported by pywin32 in the way you expect - what
happens if you change this to:
pt1 = [0.0,0.0,0.0]
pt2 =[1.0,1.0,0.0]
?

Sadly not many people have access to autocad so it is hard to test.
What errors do you get using win32com?

Hello,
Recently I try to write some code to automate AutoCAD from Python. I
have to draw lines from Python using win32com.client module, but I
obtain error. By other hand I solved the problem using comtypes
module.
However, If I try to obtain block attributes information, comtypes
doesn't work but win32com.client work properly.
AutoCAD attributes working code (work for win32com.client but no for
comtypes):
[code]
import win32com.client
acad= win32com.client.Dispatch("__AutoCAD.Application")
doc = acad.ActiveDocument
seleccion=doc.SelectionSets.__Add('selection1')
seleccion.SelectOnScreen()
for objeto in seleccion:
if objeto.ObjectName=='__AcDbBlockReference':
bloque=objeto.GetAttributes()
bloque[0].TagString='__newattributename' #This change
the name
for the first attribute in the selected block
[/code]
Draw line (work for comtypes but doesn't work for win32com.client):
[code]
import comtypes.client
import array
acad = comtypes.client.__GetActiveObject("AutoCAD.__Application")
doc = acad.ActiveDocument
ms = doc.ModelSpace
pt1 = array.array('d', [0.0,0.0,0.0])
pt2=array.array('d',[1.0,1.0,__0.0])
line = ms.AddLine(pt1, pt2) #This draw a line in AutoCAD
[\code]
My question is: Is posible to fix the problem using win32com to draw
autocad line in order to avoid comtypes use?
I found on the web several coments to the problem, but no solution.
Thanks for help,
Daniel Pose.

Re: [python-win32] problem AddLine AutoCAD win32com.client
I have used array module because it worked with comtypes module. If I use
simple list it doesn't work with comtypes nor pywin32.
If I use:
pt1 = [0.0,0.0,0.0]
pt2 =[1.0,1.0,0.0]
Then Python responds:

Re: [python-win32] problem AddLine AutoCAD win32com.client
Daniel,
I've tested a prerelease version of pywin32 that contains the new
win32com.client.VARIANT class and it works well with AutoCAD. Once
released, you can write something like this:
import win32com.client
import pythoncom
def POINT(x,y,z):
return win32com.client.VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_ARRAY | pythoncom.VT_R8,
(x,y,z))
acad = win32com.client.Dispatch('AutoCAD.Application')
ms = acad.ActiveDocument.ModelSpace
ms.AddLine(POINT(0,0,0), POINT(1,1,0))
Additional information in Mark's original post on win32com.client.VARIANT:
