Hi, Walter -
I got pywin32-214.win32-py2.7.exe because I have the Intel i7 (I'm
guessing that the AMD versions are for the AMD processor). However,
all of the exe offerings have the same "Python not found in registry"
problem that started this whole thing.
So, since the only source module available is pywin32-214.zip, I got
it and installed it. It does not work, maybe because I'm using Python
2.7 and the zip is for 3.2.
I really appreciate all the time you have put into my problems,
Walter. Thank you.
Cheers,
John
Actually, AMD 64 is now the standard x86-64. It was originally designed
by AMD because intel were making their Itanium thing but that didn't go
so well. Anyway if you're running 64 bit windows that's probably why the
32-bit python install is having a problem. Download the version Walter
suggested and you should be good to go.
Yes!
I have gone no farther than to say ser.read() knowing that nothing is
attached to the port and expected a delay of 5 seconds. It now does
that, so I have a clue that it is working.
I had no idea that the AMD thing was now standard. Thanks for that. I
also found that the file Walter recommended did install from the exe
while the non-AMD file did not due to the registry thing.
Wow! All I can say is thanks to everybody for the help. Now I need to
start trying to get a modem to talk to me.
By the way, the whole purpose of doing this is to communicate with some
test instruments via GPIB/HPIB to automate some testing that is time
consuming. The last time I did this (using a BASIC program), it took
about 45 minutes (not due to BASIC, but due to instrument response
time). I was able to start the test, go to lunch, then analyze the data
when I returned.
Thanks again for the help.
Cheers,
John
