Thread: [comtypes-users] Problem with new GetEvents implimentation (and a bonus)

Okay, I think I've got my SourceForge issues sorted.  I think they just had a
glitch and never sent my confirmation email.  I re-subscribed today and
everything worked.  The reason I decided to re-subscribe is because the
following message bounced because SourceForge said I wasn't allowed to post
to that list.  Only afterwards did I see I had typed ctypes-users instead of
comtypes...

I think I just found a bug in the comtypes 0.3.2 release.  In 0.2.1 I
received events after calling GetEvents, but in 0.3.2 the same code doesn't
receive events?  I poked around and compared the relevant code in the new and
old client modules.  The new _event code looks like it is just a cleaned up
version of the old code?  I also tried the code generated from each version
with the other and it appears that the generated code is not the problem.

Also just now I tried to call GetActiveObject on an application after
deleting my old gen directory and I got this (missing import):

  File "D:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\comtypes\client\_generate.py", line
218, i
n _CreateWrapper
    mod = _my_import(fullname)
  File "D:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\comtypes\client\_generate.py", line 14,
in
 _my_import
    return __import__(fullname, globals(), locals(), ['DUMMY'])
  File
"D:\Python25\lib\site-packages\comtypes\gen\_CF9F97BF_39F2_4B8E_835C_8BE9
E99DAF5B_0_8_0.py", line 5298, in <module>
    ( ['in', 'optional'], c_double, 'IgnoredWhen', datetime.datetime(1899,
12, 3
0, 0, 0) )),
NameError: name 'datetime' is not defined

Can you further try to investigate where the problem lies?

Thanks for the heads up - this is indeed a bug.  I just committed a fix
to SNV, so maybe you verify that it is fixed now.
