Turns out the issue was in fact trivial and somewhat due to my lack of experience with python and misleading error message. The COM object raw = win32com.client.Dispatch(“MyLib.MyClass”) is used to open proprietary files in a loop. To solve the issue one must “clean-up” the object before next iteration. This is done either by del … Read more
First you have to install the wonderful pywin32 module. It provides COM support. You need to run the makepy utility. It is located at C:\…\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client. On Vista, it must be ran with admin rights. This utility will show all available COM objects. You can find yours and it will generate a python wrapper for this … Read more
NTFS file system has junction points, I think you may use them instead, You can use python win32 API module for that e.g. import win32file win32file.CreateSymbolicLink(fileSrc, fileTarget, 1) If you do not want to rely on win32API module, you can always use ctypes and directly call CreateSymbolicLink win32 API e.g. import ctypes kdll = ctypes.windll.LoadLibrary(“kernel32.dll”) … Read more
You can install pywin32 wheel packages from PYPI with PIP by pointing to this package: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32 No need to worry about first downloading the package, just use pip: pip install pypiwin32 Currently I think this is “the easiest” way to get in working.
After I copy pywintypes26.dll and pythoncom26.dll from C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32 to C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32 -> Solve the problem!
The PyWin32 installation includes a .chm help file at [Pythonpath]\Lib\site-packages\PyWin32.chm. The same info is online at http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/index.html ActiveState used to keep this documentation online as well, including listings of modules and objects, but that seems to be taken offline.
Solved If you are working in a miniconda on conda environment. You could just install pywin32 using conda instead of pip. This solved my problem: conda install pywin32
