Summary: blender python hard to install to

Initial Comment:
opensource Blender.org uses python and their current release B259 has a 'private copy' of python 31, complete with python and python/lib directories. I use the .zip download of blender, and unzip it to C:, so its python directory is like this: 
C:\blender-2.59-windows32\2.59\python
I also have python installed the usual way, to C:\Python31.
Your / the win32 extension installer sees the Registry value and path for regular python, and installs to that python, but does;t let me pick the blender path. If I copy site_packages from the regular python to the blender python, blender python can't find win32com.client - no module.
If I hack the registry entry 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\3.1\InstallPath  > Default C:\Python31\
and change it to 
C:\blender-2.59-windows32\2.59\python
then your / the installer correctly gets the directory, and installs it to the blender python, but the installer bombs before finishing - something about 'string'. And so blender can't find the win32com.client module. (The regular python -run from IDLE- has no problem)
Thanks.

I was using a .net thing http://pythonnet.sourceforge.net/  to wrap EarthLib (googleEarth http://earth.google.com/comapi/index.html) COM, but that pythondotnet has fallen behind (python27 is the last binary) and needs a Pro version of visual studio to build (I have free Express edition) so I can't hack it. The goal of using EarthLib from Blender is to do snapshots of the terrain, put them into blender as textured mesh, so artists can use Blender instead of Sketchup to model buildings for googleEarth or X3D deployment.

Summary: pywintypes must be explicitly imported before win32api

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I just want to raise awareness of this bug that affects Twisted on Windows using a 'portable' Python installation.
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/3868

it looks like the following import will fail

from win32api import OpenProcess
import pywintypes

while changing the import order fixed the problem.

from win32api import OpenProcess
import pywintypes

----

This only happend if I call python.exe from another working folder as the one hosting the python.exe file.
All DLLs are in the same folder as python.exe

I am thinking that win32api is only trying to load the dlls from the current working folder, not the one hosting the python.exe.

Message:
I think we will find that the magic done in pywintypes.py to locate and
load the pywintypesxx.dll module is what fixes the problem in most cases -
without that import I expect it is that DLL which can't be located when
importing win32api.  I'm not sure what a fix is though.

Summary: v215/py.32 win32 install fails 32 and 64-bit

Initial Comment:
Both pywin32-215.win32-py3.2.exe and pywin32-215.win-amd64-py3.2.exe throw and exception on install:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 604, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 332, in install
  File "<string>", line 15, in write
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write'
Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'flush'" in <__main__.Tee object at 0x033995B0> ignored

As a result, 
import win32com.client as win32

fails like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\EQ\InventoryDumps\testScript1.py", line 1, in <module>
    import win32com.client as win32
  File "D:\Python32\lib\site-packages\win32com\__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    import win32api, sys, os
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Importing sys and os separately works fine, looks like win32api install failed.

I ran the postinstall script manually and it failed while creating
shortcuts. It is actually trying to find the "python 3.2" folder in my user

Hi!  I am on Vista 64bit, using Python 3.2.    It fails with
pywin32-216.1.win32-py3.2.exe!  By accident, I noticed that I could install
the 64 bit python and the 64bit pywin without any problems.  Unfortunately,
I have to control a 32 bit com object, so I uninstalled all python, deleted
registry and the python directory and started from scratch with 32bit
python and pywin, and then it fails.

Is there something I can do to help you debug this?   I'm not sure where
to start.

Summary: Byte Range Lock API incorrectly uses signed int for lock len

Initial Comment:
The win32 api for byte range locks, LockFileEx etc specifies unsigned (DWORD) arguments for the length of the lock. The Pywin32 api uses signed int, making it impossible to request  some locks that would be allowed using the native wine32 api.

Hi!  I am on Vista 64bit, using Python 3.2.    It fails with
pywin32-216.1.win32-py3.2.exe!  By accident, I noticed that I could install
the 64 bit python and the 64bit pywin without any problems.  Unfortunately,
I have to control a 32 bit com object, so I uninstalled all python, deleted
registry and the python directory and started from scratch with 32bit
python and pywin, and then it fails.

Is there something I can do to help you debug this?   I'm not sure where
to start.

Summary: Nondeterministic results from win32net.NetFileEnum

Initial Comment:
On a Windows Server 2008 (really Windows Home Server 2011) system I reliably receive no results for a simple script containing only an import statement and "print win32net.NetFileEnum(3)" when the "openfiles" command returns accurate results (multiple files open). 

Unexpectedly, see correct results from win32net by duplicating the "print win32net.NetFileEnum(3)" line twice. If I print the empty dictionary to stdout and then print what should be the same result a second time I get correct data instead of an empty dictionary.

Part of the oddity is that the print statement in the first call is a necessity. If I assign the results from the first NetFileEnum call to a variable or simply call and ignore the result then the second call always receives an empty dictionary.

This is reproducible after rebooting and in the interactive interpreter

System is Windows 2008 x64 running Python 2.7.2 x64 and pywin32-216

Summary: Broken debug print statement in find_platform_sdk_dir()

Initial Comment:
In setup.py:find_platform_sdk_dir() there's a debug print statement:
        if DEBUG:
            print "PSDK: try %MSSdk%: '%s'" % sdkdir

If you turn on DEBUG and have the MSSdk variable set in your environment then this will crash because the percent signs around "MSSdk" are treated as format specifiers.  Trivial patch attached.

Summary: win32security.LsaRetrievePrivateData Fails for DCOM password

Initial Comment:
I get 'The system cannot find the file specified' when trying to call LsaRetrievePrivateData to retrieve a DCOM user password.  Calling LsaStorePrivateData for a DCOM user creates a second entry in LSA rather than updating the current entry.  Primarily I want this functionality to automate the setting of DCOM passwords.

ActivePython 2.5.2.2 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 27 2008, 17:57:18) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import win32security
>>> handle= win32security.LsaOpenPolicy(None, win32security.POLICY_GET_PRIVATE_INFORMATION)
>>> win32security.LsaRetrievePrivateData(handle, 'SCM:{73FDDC80-AEA9-101A-98A7-00AA00374959}')
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
pywintypes.error: (2, 'LsaRetrievePrivateData', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')

Where {73FDDC80-AEA9-101A-98A7-00AA00374959} is a valid AppId which does have a RunAs password set.  If I use the SrvcMgmt.cpp sample Microsoft mention in the KB article below, I can successfully read the password.  If I modify win32security and recompile, I can successfully read the password.

This appears to be a Microsoft shortcoming: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259615 whereby the NULL terminator must be included when calculating the length of the keyname - the behaviour seems inconsistent.

Reading the KB arcticle, it sounds like this only applies to LsaRetrievePrivateData / LsaStorePrivateData, whereas win32security uses the function PyWinObject_AsLSA_UNICODE_STRING which is used more widely.

More confusing still, trying to retrieve $MACHINE.ACC from LSA works if length doesn't include the NULL terminator (the way win32security currently does it), but fails if length does include the NULL - so the behaviour is different depending on which passwords you are trying to access.

The adsi module isn't being built under py3k (it's specifically excluded by setup.py). Is this because of a lack of round tuits, or is there something which would prevent it ever working?

The biggest impediment is the custom version of swig used to generate com

Interestingly [?] this is almost an exact duplicate of my last post [2271571 of 081112, when the same error occurred on a new XP machine with an earlier version of Py, 2.5.2.  I never did fix this and used the default path for everything.

I ran the postinstall script manually and it failed while creating
shortcuts. It is actually trying to find the "python 3.2" folder in my user
profile roaming data folder. However, python32 is installed for all users
so it does not find the python 3.2 folder and fails. Easiest fix was to
create the "Python 3.2" folder. Better fix would be to modify the script so
that it finds the right folder.

I just "double clicked the installer" in windows.  Has tried both with

running the post-install script was to be my next suggestion :)  How did
you start the installer - from a cmd-prompt?  IThis has been reported
before, but it works fine for many (including me) too!

Update: I ran "C:\Python32\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install" after
the failed installation, and now it works :)  I'm happy!
Still, the installer should be investigated though if you have the time. 
Mark:  Thanks for your time and effort on this project!

Hi!  I am on Vista 64bit, using Python 3.2.    It fails with
pywin32-216.1.win32-py3.2.exe!  By accident, I noticed that I could install
the 64 bit python and the 64bit pywin without any problems.  Unfortunately,
I have to control a 32 bit com object, so I uninstalled all python, deleted
registry and the python directory and started from scratch with 32bit
python and pywin, and then it fails.

Is there something I can do to help you debug this?   I'm not sure where
to start.

Summary: Browse PythonPath fails

Initial Comment:
On a new Vista machine, I installed Py 3.2 and pywin32-216.win-amd64-py3.2 with no errors.  PyWin works, but Tools\Browse PythonPath fails as follows:

>>> Failed to execute command:
from pywin.tools import browseProjects;browseProjects.Browse()

    hKey = win32api.RegOpenKey(regutil.GetRootKey(), keyStr)
pywintypes.error: (2, 'RegOpenKeyEx', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')
>>> 

Reinstall / repair of Py and PyWin makes no difference.  Any advice gratefully received.  
Interestingly [?] this is almost an exact duplicate of my last post [2271571 of 081112, when the same error occurred on a new XP machine with an earlier version of Py, 2.5.2.  I never did fix this and used the default path for everything.

Summary: RFE: Vista/2008 service - "Automatically (Delayed Start)"

Initial Comment:
Context:
Services in Windows Vista and Windows 2008  have a fourth startup type value - "Automatic (Delayed Start)" - that isn't available through the --startup command line option of a python windows service script.

Description of the problem:
Currently the --startup command line option only supports the "Manual", "Automatic", and "Disabled" values.

Expected results:
Having the fourth option "Automatically (Delayed Start)" available through the --startup command line option

Summary: Installer won't accept an alternative directory

Initial Comment:
I have a 64-bit install of the standard CPython (3.2) and I am able to install the 64-bit package of pywin32 to it without a problem. However, I need to have a 32-bit Python directory (not installed as the default Python), so that I can create 32-bit binaries with cx_Freeze. I cannot add pywin32 to the 32-bit Python's directory because the pywin32 installer (pywin32-216.1.win32-py3.2.exe) doesn't allow installation to an arbitrary directory.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

>Comment By: Mark Hammond (mhammond)

Message:
This is a problem with the builtin distutils rather than pywin32.  However,
you can probably work around it with some registry hacks.  As 32bit and
64bit processes have different views of the registry, there is no problem
installing both.  If you edit the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\PythonCore\3.2\InstallPath

To point at your 32bit install, the pywin32 installer should happy install
there.  Note that installing the 32bit Python should have already added an
entry there pointing at where you installed it.  The 64bit version of
Python will use the same key but without the Wow6432Node part of the key.
