>Summary: excel.Workbooks.Add() python 2.5 pywin32-211 error 

Initial Comment:
Hello all,

I've got some issues with Python 2.5.2 + Pywin 2.5

Here is what I get when I try to open a new workbook in Excel:


>>> excel.Visible = 1
>>> excel.Workbooks.Add()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    excel.Workbooks.Add()
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 467, in __getattr__
    if self._olerepr_.mapFuncs.has_key(attr): return self._make_method_(attr)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 295, in _make_method_
    methodCodeList = self._olerepr_.MakeFuncMethod(self._olerepr_.mapFuncs[name], methodName,0)

    return self.MakeDispatchFuncMethod(entry, name, bMakeClass)

    s = linePrefix + 'def ' + name + '(self' + BuildCallList(fdesc, names, defNamedOptArg, defNamedNotOptArg, defUnnamedArg, defOutArg) + '):'
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\build.py", line 604, in BuildCallList
    argName = MakePublicAttributeName(argName)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\build.py", line 542, in MakePublicAttributeName
    return filter(lambda char: char in valid_identifier_chars, className)


Is it linked with the fact that I installed 2.5.2 over 2.4 ? 

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Jeremie
