Hi everybody. It's been nearly 2 weeks since I posted this, and nobody has responded.  If anybody has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them.  I'll provide more info on anything anybody thinks is relevant. Thanks, Greg Antal Gregory W. Antal Senior Technical Advisor ATA Engineer

Re: [python-win32] ByRef params not working with PythonCOM

has 315 (three hundred and fifteen) such entries, and there are hundreds more on dozens of other objects, so manual editing to correct all of them is not feasible.  Question:  can something be done to makepy to fix this, or this an inherent and hopeless flaw in the TLB? Thanks, Greg Antal Gregory W.

Mark: The workaround you suggest may not scale, but it works and I can live with it.  I was on the verge of giving up on Python for this project and converting to the API's native VB, but I won't have to do that now.  Thanks. - Greg Antal Gregory W. Antal Senior Technical A

Re: [python-win32] getting integer value for worksheet.Cells(row, col).Value

Solomon: To do this in a Visual Basic module within Excel, you would use intValue = Val(worksheet.Cells(row, col).Value) I haven't tried to use Excel as a COM server, but I think if you can use the "Val()" function, you'll get the data you want instead of a string. - G

ans that the Server uses a data type that Pythoncom doesn't support, in which case I think there's not much I can do about it, but maybe someone can suggest something? FYI, I'm using ActiveState python version 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 27 2008, 17:57:18) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)].  Woul

so, go to the next item in the thread to see Mark Hammond's suggested workaround. That worked, and would have been fine with me, but the TLB's authors actually fixed the TLB as soon as I showed them the problem, so I didn't have to do anything funny. Good luck. - Greg Antal G

Re: [python-win32] EOFError in gencache.py

I think the way to solve this problem is to run your type library through makepy.py and keep the output. For example: C:~\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py -o MyTlb.py [my_path]\MyTlb.tlb Then, in your code, wherever you need something from that type lib, import the file as you would
