try using the full namespace. it sounds like the module isn't loading
everything it needs.
import win32com.client
app = client.Dispatch("XSI.Application").Application

Hello!
Sorry for such a newbish question but I'm having a hard time isolating
a problem in some code. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't and
I can't find out how to fix it. Basically I have some code running in
a python module that is outside of a typical Softimage Plugin. I've
tried to getting a handle to the Softimage Application object 2
different ways:
from win32com.client import Dispatch
Application = Dispatch("XSI.Application").Application
and
from win32com.client import dynamic
Application = dynamic.Dispatch("XSI.Application").Application
The error I am getting the first time I run my code is:
# metadata_dict[ 'workgroups_loaded' ] = str( "; ".join(
Application.Workgroups ) )
# File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2013
SP1\Application\python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 495, in __getattr__
# raise pythoncom.com_error, details
# 2028 - pywintypes.com_error: [2](-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.',
(0, None, u'Invalid argument specified.', None, 0, -[3]2147418113),
None)
The second time I run the code that line works fine and I get an error
at:
# custom_params.append( customProp.AddParameter2("metadata",
c.siString, yaml_metadata) )
# File "<COMObject <unknown>>", line 7, in AddParameter2
# File "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2013
SP1\Application\python\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 258, in _ApplyTypes_
# result = self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(*(dispid, LCID, wFlags,
retType, argTypes) + args)
# 2028 - pywintypes.com_error: [4](-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.',
(0, None, u'Invalid argument specified.', None, 0, -[5]2147418113),
None)
It's very odd and seems to be a problem with the way Dispatch is
working but I'm too much of a newb to say for sure...Are these just
false trails and not the actual errors that are occuring? If I run
Application.Workgroups in the script editor before ever running this
code it will error out at the second error I posted above. Am I
missing some sort of initialization procedure that has to happen before
I can run code in an outside python module?
Any help is much appreciated!
Best,
