Using COM to run MS Office functionality (MODI)

brendonwp — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:57:33 +0100

I am new to Python but have some programming/scripting experience. I was looking at recipe 2.27 in the "Python Cookbook", and thought this would be easy but ... :D

I am trying to run the MS Office OCR component from a python script. That is the Microsoft Office Document Interface (MODI) COM object that comes with Office 2003. It was simple to get it up and running under VB, but now I want to take it further in Python.

I have run "COM makepy" on the "Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library" which appears under "Type Libraries", and generated a >1MB python script full of information with no reference to OCR or anything that looks like MODI.

I can open a Word document from the console window after importing PyWin32, so I know that the two are talking to each other (using win32com.client). I have searched the recipes on this site and Googled quite a bit, but am stuck now.

I realise this is not a Python problem, but would appreciate any help as to where to look next... otherwise I may be forced to work in VB!!

Thanks!
Brendon

PS I am running ActiveState Python 2.5 under Windows XP SP 2.

Python equiv. to PerlCtrl?

axtens — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 08:44:39 +0100

G'day everyone!

Is there an ActivePython equivalent to the PDK's PerlCtrl? I'd like to be able to develop a Python COM Server, but as a standalone that doesn't require the full installation of ActiveState Python.

Kind regards,
Bruce.

P.S. And also, that has a typelib that TLViewer can comprehend.

ActivePython installation error on Solaris 10

nerdgir1 — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:47:43 +0100

I'm installing ActivePython 2.5.2.2 in my home directory on a Solaris 10 machine. I used gunzip to unzip and gtar to untar the tar.gz in my home directory. When running install.sh I get an error.

[user@server:~] $ cd ActivePython-2.5.2.2-solaris10-x86
[user@server:~/ActivePython-2.5.2.2-solaris10-x86] $ ./install.sh
./install.sh: ./INSTALLDIR/bin/python: cannot execute
[user@server:~/ActivePython-2.5.2.2-solaris10-x86] $

This is what is in the server's opt directory - would python already be installed here?

SUNWits SUNWrtvc
SUNWmlib SUNWvts

I'm not the admin and need to be able to add modules which is why I wanted to have my own version in my home directory, even if it was already installed.

TIA

Unit tests on a remote server

fastimprovement — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:16:31 +0100

I have some code I'm working on, located on a remote server (so I'm using Project > Add > Existing Remote File)

And I have some tests that are also located on the same remote server (some already pre-written, others which I've coded myself).

The code is python and using standard unittest as the test framework.

Now, I can run the tests on the remote server when I'm ssh'd into it, BUT, is there any way I can add the test plan to the project and use the built-in Project > Test > ?

Or am I just missing something, because I can't see where to select a remote directory in the test plan properties ...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Using sys.exit(0) when running PythonWin

wwbrown — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:53:11 +0100

How do I gracefully exit a Python script launched from the PythonWin command prompt (">>>"). When my script uses "sys.exit(0)", PythonWin registers a "Firing event 'ProcessEnter' failed" exception in binding.py (line 141) with a long, messy traceback. How can I avoid this?

Python25.dll not found

myourshaw@ucla.edu — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:58:25 +0100

I have ActivePython (2.5.2.2 MSC v.1400 64bit (AMD64)) on Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit (all current service packs).

WinCvs (2.0.9.1) requires Python, but when I start WinCvs I get the error "WinCvs could not find Python installed on your system. ...".

python25.dll is present in C:\Windows\System32\ but I cannot see it when I manually browse from within WinCvs>Admin>Preferences.

I can run Python from a command prompt so I beleive I have a good installation.

I have tried copying python25.dll to other locations with the same problem.

If I run regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\python25.dll" I get an error message "The module "C:\Windows\System32\python25.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found."

I have also tried reinstalling ActivePython.

IIS 7 & Asp problem

Snake — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:51:37 +0100

I've followed some tutorials which I found on how to setup active python and IIS 7 so they will work together but I am rather stumped with getting it to serve up pages using python scripts.

If I have a page with this simple python code. (I'm a python noob)

<%@ LANGUAGE = Python %>
<%
	Response.Write("Hello World")
%>

I get the error, HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error

This is with friendly warnings turned off and also asp sending the correct error messages to the client. I know this because if I change the <%@ LANGUAGE = Python %> to <%@ LANGUAGE = Gibberish %> I get a sensible error message.

I also have tried the python pyscript.py --unregister and then python pyscript.py to no avail.

Finally I am fully able to run python in a localhost/hello.py

If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be very grateful.

scrolledwindow or scrolledpanel scrollable but hide scrollbar

kolanupaka — Thu, 29 May 2008 16:36:21 +0100

All,

Is it possible to be able to scroll using scrolledwindow or scrolledpanel by using other controls like buttons and using Scroll(x, y) function. But I need to hide the scrollbar all the time. I tried doing this in both, but when I hide the scrollbar in scrolledwindow using setscrollbar function, it is disabling the scrolling also and Scroll(x, y) also does not work. This is not what I intend to do. Please help me here. Thank you.

Regards,

Giri
