Hi,
Since I haven't heard on the topic anymore and am now at home to put the
laptop on the internet, here's the trace I currently get when from my Python
app I try to open a standard file dialog (in this case, using wxPython):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "boot_com_servers.py", line 21, in <module>
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythoncom.py", line 3, in <module>
pywintypes.__import_pywin32_system_module__("pythoncom", globals())
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib\pywintypes.py", line 98, in
__import_pywin32_system_module__
('.dll', 'rb', imp.C_EXTENSION))
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
After reinstalling Win32Com on the computer, this is what I get:
"Redirecting output to win32trace remote collector"
So I guess that proves that the installation of TortoiseHG does still break
the pre-existing installation of win32com in Python25.
I did not reboot the computer in the meantime.
Also, the output that would normally be printed to stdout at this point, is
now gone.
I hope that this gives enough clues to determine what the problem is, and if
there's a solution.
Kind regards,
--Tim

See above - I now believe that it's not. Reinstalling win32com extensions
fixed the tracktrace that appeared before reinstalling it. There is some
interaction between my Python installation, and the Python program that's
run for me from Windows Explorer.
