python script works in pywin but not in command window 16 Years Ago by gab_sk Hi, I have a python script which uses a COM object. This script works correctly when I run it from pywin, however, it does not run when I run it from windows command line - it throws an exception occurred in this COM object. I know that this COM obj. exception is also thrown when call is made from C++ code, but this can be avoided when some … Problems Exporting Shapes from Powerpoint using PyWin 14 Years Ago by Vertana I've been racking my brain over this for a few days now. I'm attempting to write a program in Python 3.1 / PyQt 4.7.5 that will open a Powerpoint, go through every shape on every slide, determine if it is a picture and then save that picture to the specified directory with the correct name and extension. So far everything works. The GUI is ok, the … Tkinter & Pywin, displaying database information 17 Years Ago by StudentMark Hi, I'm having some problems and i'm hoping someone can help. I'm using python 2.4 and have the pywin library installed. I have a listbox which when I click on a description of a product displays the whole record, so for example I select "bike", and press a "select" button which i've created, in the IDLE window it will … Re: python script works in pywin but not in command window 16 Years Ago by jlm699 Can you provide some code to demonstrate the problem? It will be much easier to understand the problem Re: python script works in pywin but not in command window 16 Years Ago by gab_sk This is the code, very short and simple, exception occurs in login.ValidateUser(). When I run this in pythonwin, process id is printed in interactive window, so it works as expected. import win32com.client login = win32com.client.Dispatch("ACDB.Login") login.Login("","") login.ApplicationName = "whatever" … Re: python script works in pywin but not in command window 16 Years Ago by jlm699 Can you also post the traceback of the exception? Re: Problems Exporting Shapes from Powerpoint using PyWin 14 Years Ago by woooee join() interleaves a list with a constant so self.currentOutDir.join(self.counterStr) would produce self.counterStr[0]+self.currentOutDir+self.counterStr[1]+self.currentOutDir+self.counterStr[2]...etc. A simple example: [CODE]x = ["1", "2", "3"] print "a".join(x) # x = "123" print "b&… Re: Problems Exporting Shapes from Powerpoint using PyWin 14 Years Ago by Vertana I see what you're talking about. I wonder why Python decided upon that behaviour, but I went ahead and changed my method to just concatenate the strings to produce the full directory/filename.extension. Now the only thing is I have no idea what the error messages that are produced by the COM object are. [CODE]File "C:\Python31\lib\site-… Re: Problems Exporting Shapes from Powerpoint using PyWin 14 Years Ago by Vertana Here is my revised method: [CODE]def exportPhotos(self): self.currentFileName = self.view.pptPath.text() self.currentOutDir = self.view.outPath.text() g = globals() # These lines allow access to COM Object constants for c in dir(self.msoModule.constants): g[c] = getattr(self.msoModule.constants, c)… Re: Problems Exporting Shapes from Powerpoint using PyWin 14 Years Ago by Vertana I finally figured it out! Python interprets file directories as "C:\wherever\to\wherever" which it then feeds to the Windows API. The way I bypassed this was by forcing the slashes to convert to windows style right before I fed them to the Windows API with the following fix: [CODE]#This will create and verify the image paths (you can view… Re: Problems Exporting Shapes from Powerpoint using PyWin 14 Years Ago by woooee A cross platform solution is os.path.join(). The only gottcha is it sometimes gets confused when a "/" or "\" is included with the right-most string print os.path.join("dir_1", "dir_2", "image"+str(12)+".png") Re: Problems Exporting Shapes from Powerpoint using PyWin 14 Years Ago by Vertana Thank you very much for the cross platform advice! I'm sure that's gonna come in handy on a future project (and now I won't ave to figure out that mystery)! Re: Tkinter & Pywin, displaying database information 17 Years Ago by StudentMark I now have managed to create an entry control underneath my listbox. When i press the select button i have created it prints the record to the console, I would like to print it to the entry control. could anyone point me in the right direction? Re: Tkinter & Pywin, displaying database information 17 Years Ago by woooee Look at the info on control variables here. You will probably use .set() to set the contents of the entry widget. If you still can't get it to work, post some specific code.

I haven't programmed in quite a while and now that I'm getting back into the programming environment for my robotics project again, I'm a little stumped on something: I'm getting this error message for an exception raised in my VAST python script for my robot. It goes like this: [QUOTE]Traceback (most recent call last): … Re: Trouble with a certain Exception 16 Years Ago by Seagull One Okay, I think I found the answer to that. All I had to do was change, say wxbitmap to wx.bitmap, in my script. But now I'm getting something else.

I think my problem was I hadn't used the MakePy Windows speech Object Library on it, because it got rid of that error.

Thanks, Jeff! That solved that problem. Now when I run the script, the windows speed recognition activates! Theres another exception that comes up though, but since the windows speech recognition comes up just before the exception, I know we're getting close. Here's whats coming up now: [QUOTE]Setting words - turned on … Re: Trouble with a certain Exception 16 Years Ago by Seagull One Thanks Jeff! I think we just have a little more ways to go.

That's defined in [QUOTE]self.tbicon = wx.TaskBarIcon() icon = wx.IconFromXPMData(getMondrianData()) [/QUOTE] I should've seen that coming. I've added the wx to the other parts in that chunck of code, and thats seems to account for several more exceptions.
