I have the exact same setup as mentioned in the note by Rob Marchetti. Note:This version only only works with Python 3.0 on Windows and
requires Mark Hammond's pywin32 for Python3.0 - pywin32-213.win32-py3.0.exe

But i get the following error:

Message:
This has nothing to do with Python 3 or PAM. I get the same error using
this script (with Python 2.2, win32all build 210, as well as Python 2.5 and
win32all build 217). It only happens with MSIE 9. Fun thing is that on a
site like Baidu (commented line here), which uses compatibility mode IFAIK,
it works. Tested on Win7 Ultimate 32 bits.


import win32com.client
import time

ie = win32com.client.Dispatch('InternetExplorer.Application.1')
try:
    ie.Visible = 1
    ie.Navigate("http://www.google.com")
    # ie.Navigate("http://www.baidu.com")

    while ie.Busy:
        time.sleep(1)

    print ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("a")
finally:
    ie.Quit()

Summary: Python won't exit if win32ui is imported

Initial Comment:
Environment: Windows 7 64-bit, Python 2.7.3 32-bit, PyWin32-217

This is a weird one. If you run the attached script (you'll need to manually close the file chooser), you'll find that Python does not exit when the script is done.

However, if you remove win32ui from the list of imports, the script exits just fine.

Also, if the script consists solely of "import win32gui, win32ui", it exits cleanly.

I printed a list of threads and it's just the main thread in both cases.

Another user on Stack Overflow found that this problem is reproducible by creating and destroying a GTK Window instead of opening a file chooser like I did. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10467225/why-script-doesnt-quit-when-win32ui-is-imported-and-gtk-quits

Summary: postinstall script will not execute properly as non-admin

Initial Comment:
The postinstall script produces the following output for a user without administration rights:

c:\Coding\Python\2.7\Scripts>pywin32_postinstall.py -install
pywin32_postinstall.py: A post-install script for the pywin32 extensions.

This should be run automatically after installation, but if it fails you
can run it again with a '-install' parameter, to ensure the environment
is setup correctly.

Additional Options:
  -wait pid : Wait for the specified process to terminate before starting.
  -silent   : Don't display the "Abort/Retry/Ignore" dialog for files in use.
  -quiet    : Don't display progress messages.

Platform: Windows 8 64 bit CP
Python: 2.7 32bit

When the testall script is executed from a console launched as administrator, the tests run (I didn't finish the test run, as I wanted to know if the install completed at all).

The expected behaviour is that the postinstall script adds all necessary settings to the currently logged in user rather than failing with a non-error.

Summary: EnsureDispatch error 2147352567 but not Dispatch

Initial Comment:
I've got a strange problem :

I'e trying to export Outlook Contacts in a List of Dictionnary. My code works perfectly with win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application). But it returns 0 contacts with win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application) that is supposed to be faster and "safer". Here's my code :

class MapiImport():     
	def __init__(self):         
		self.olApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")         
		self.namespace = self.olApp.GetNamespace(u"MAPI")         
		# olFolderContacts = 10 :         
		self.mapiContacts = self.namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10).Items      
	def getContacts(self, *fields):         
		contacts = []         
		# Class == 40 is ContactItem         
		# Class == 69 is DistListItem         
		# Exclude ditribution list and others objects != ContactItem         
		for contact in filter(lambda x: x.Class == 40,self.mapiContacts) :             
			if not fields :                 
				ctact = dict((x.Name,x.Value) for x in contact.ItemProperties)             
			else :                 
				ctact = {}                 
				for field in fields :                     
					itemProp = contact.itemProperties[field]                     
					ctact[field] = itemProp.Value             
			contacts.append(ctact)         
		return contacts  
#====TEST SCRIPT==== 
myMAPI = MapiImport() 
fields = (u"LastName",u"FirstName",u"Companies",           
		  u"HomeTelephoneNumber",u"Home2TelephoneNumber",           
		  u"MobileTelephoneNumber",           
		  u"BusinessTelephoneNumber",u"Business2TelephoneNumber",           
		  u"Email1Address",u"Email2Address",u"Email3Address",           
		  u"HomeAddress",u"BusinessAddress",           
		  u"Birthday",u"Anniversary",           
		  u"Body") 
print(myMAPI.getContacts(*fields)) 


So when i replace :

olApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application") 

With : 

olApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application") 

It returns this errors :

Traceback (most recent call last):   
  File "D:\Documents and Settings\da7950\Mes documents\Dropbox\cheetahImporter\mapiImport.py", line 42, in <module>     
    print(myMAPI.getContacts(*fields))   
  File "D:\Documents and Settings\da7950\Mes documents\Dropbox\cheetahImporter\mapiImport.py", line 19, in getContacts     
    for contact in filter(lambda x: x.Class == 40,self.mapiContacts) :   
  File "D:\Documents and Settings\da7950\Mes documents\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046x0x9x2\_Items.py", line 122, in __getitem__     
    return self._get_good_object_(self._oleobj_.Invoke(*(81, LCID, 1, 1, item)), "Item") 
com_error: (-2147352567, "Une exception s'est produite.", (4096, u'Microsoft Office Outlook', u'Index de la matrice en dehors des limites.', None, 0, -2147352567), None) 

The message means "Matrix index out of bounds". The strangiest thing is that after I called EnsureDispatch, win32com.client.Dispatch doesn't works anymore. I have to uninstall pywin32 and reinstall it...

I'm running with Python2.7.3 32-bit with Outlook 2003 32-bit

Thanks

you're both right, outlook is using a 1-base index. If i try this simple

namespace = olApp.GetNamespace(u"MAPI")

print mapiContacts[0]    # INDEX 0 CRASHES

It crashes with the same error. But if i try with index 1, 2, 3 etc. it
works !

My code works with win32com.client.dynamic.DumbDispatch. What's the cons of
DumbDispatch ?

As to the problem itself, can you check if "self.mapiContacts.Items(0)"

handling the exception to stop the looping correctly (ie, I'm wondering if
the code is failing *after* it successfully enumerates the contacts or

Message:
It appears outlook is using a 1-based index for the contact items.
When using the generated wrapper classes, iteration is performed by
calling for Items starting with 0, and throws the error you're seeing.

The dynamic Dispatch is querying for an iterator using DISPID_NEWENUM,
and the resulting enumerator works regardless of the indexing scheme.
The makepy generated classes should probably use that same process.

As a workaround, you can use win32com.client.dynamic.DumbDispatch to
get the dynamic behaviour for just the mapiContacts object.
You can remove the makepy support by simply clearing the \win32com\gen_py
directory rather than reinstalling.

Summary: makepy can generate invalid syntax

Initial Comment:
From this question on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11630973/makepy-error-xceedzip-dll

If a module contains constants whose repr() can't be used as a constructor,
it will get written to the generated file anyway, causing a SyntaxError when
it's imported.
In this case it was a time, generating the invalid code
xcdMaximumDate                =<PyTime:12/31/9999 12:00:00 AM> # from enum XceedConstants

class MapiImport():     
	def __init__(self):         
		self.olApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")         
		self.namespace = self.olApp.GetNamespace(u"MAPI")         
		# olFolderContacts = 10 :         
		self.mapiContacts = self.namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10).Items      
	def getContacts(self, *fields):         
		contacts = []         
		# Class == 40 is ContactItem         
		# Class == 69 is DistListItem         
		# Exclude ditribution list and others objects != ContactItem         
		for contact in filter(lambda x: x.Class == 40,self.mapiContacts) :             
			if not fields :                 
				ctact = dict((x.Name,x.Value) for x in contact.ItemProperties)             
			else :                 
				ctact = {}                 
				for field in fields :                     
					itemProp = contact.itemProperties[field]                     
					ctact[field] = itemProp.Value             
			contacts.append(ctact)         
		return contacts  
#====TEST SCRIPT==== 
myMAPI = MapiImport() 
fields = (u"LastName",u"FirstName",u"Companies",           
		  u"HomeTelephoneNumber",u"Home2TelephoneNumber",           
		  u"MobileTelephoneNumber",           
		  u"BusinessTelephoneNumber",u"Business2TelephoneNumber",           
		  u"Email1Address",u"Email2Address",u"Email3Address",           
		  u"HomeAddress",u"BusinessAddress",           
		  u"Birthday",u"Anniversary",           
		  u"Body") 
print(myMAPI.getContacts(*fields)) 


So when i replace :

olApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application") 

With : 

olApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application") 

It returns this errors :

Traceback (most recent call last):

The message means "Matrix index out of bounds". The strangiest thing is that after I called EnsureDispatch, win32com.client.Dispatch doesn't works anymore. I have to uninstall pywin32 and reinstall it...

I'm running with Python2.7.3 32-bit with Outlook 2003 32-bit

Thanks

As a workaround, i use :

I took a closer look at this, and the makepy code is checking for the
NewEnum method, but it doesn't appear in the TypeInfo.  I think the right
thing to do would be to always try to Invoke DISPID_NEWENUM first, and fall
back to iterating Items if that fails.

So it looks like we need to work out why _NewEnum isn't being used in that
case, as Roger mentioned.

DumpDispatch is just like regular Dispatch when EnsureDispatch hasn't been
used.  IOW, DumbDispatch will always ignore the magic done by
EnsureDispatch.

Thx for fast answer !

you're both right, outlook is using a 1-base index. If i try this simple
code :

import win32com.client
olApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application")
namespace = olApp.GetNamespace(u"MAPI")
# olFolderContacts = 10 :
mapiContacts = namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10).Items
print mapiContacts[0]    # INDEX 0 CRASHES

It crashes with the same error. But if i try with index 1, 2, 3 etc. it
works !

My code works with win32com.client.dynamic.DumbDispatch. What's the cons of
DumbDispatch ?

FWIW, EnsureDispatch will generated code into the win32com\client\gen_py
directory (or possibly in %temp%\gen_py) - removing that directory should
avoid needing to reinstall pywin32 to reset the behaviour.

As to the problem itself, can you check if "self.mapiContacts.Items(0)"
throws an exception?  I'm wondering if the code is looping, but isn't
handling the exception to stop the looping correctly (ie, I'm wondering if
the code is failing *after* it successfully enumerates the contacts or
before).

It appears outlook is using a 1-based index for the contact items.
When using the generated wrapper classes, iteration is performed by
calling for Items starting with 0, and throws the error you're seeing.

The dynamic Dispatch is querying for an iterator using DISPID_NEWENUM,
and the resulting enumerator works regardless of the indexing scheme.
The makepy generated classes should probably use that same process.

As a workaround, you can use win32com.client.dynamic.DumbDispatch to
get the dynamic behaviour for just the mapiContacts object.
You can remove the makepy support by simply clearing the \win32com\gen_py
directory rather than reinstalling.

Summary: EnsureDispatch error 2147352567 but not Dispatch

Initial Comment:
I've got a strange problem :

I'e trying to export Outlook Contacts in a List of Dictionnary. My code works perfectly with win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application). But it returns 0 contacts with win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application) that is supposed to be faster and "safer". Here's my code :

class MapiImport():     
	def __init__(self):         
		self.olApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")         
		self.namespace = self.olApp.GetNamespace(u"MAPI")         
		# olFolderContacts = 10 :         
		self.mapiContacts = self.namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10).Items      
	def getContacts(self, *fields):         
		contacts = []         
		# Class == 40 is ContactItem         
		# Class == 69 is DistListItem         
		# Exclude ditribution list and others objects != ContactItem         
		for contact in filter(lambda x: x.Class == 40,self.mapiContacts) :             
			if not fields :                 
				ctact = dict((x.Name,x.Value) for x in contact.ItemProperties)             
			else :                 
				ctact = {}                 
				for field in fields :                     
					itemProp = contact.itemProperties[field]                     
					ctact[field] = itemProp.Value             
			contacts.append(ctact)         
		return contacts  
#====TEST SCRIPT==== 
myMAPI = MapiImport() 
fields = (u"LastName",u"FirstName",u"Companies",           
		  u"HomeTelephoneNumber",u"Home2TelephoneNumber",           
		  u"MobileTelephoneNumber",           
		  u"BusinessTelephoneNumber",u"Business2TelephoneNumber",           
		  u"Email1Address",u"Email2Address",u"Email3Address",           
		  u"HomeAddress",u"BusinessAddress",           
		  u"Birthday",u"Anniversary",           
		  u"Body") 
print(myMAPI.getContacts(*fields)) 


So when i replace :

olApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application") 

With : 

olApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application") 

It returns this errors :

Traceback (most recent call last):   
  File "D:\Documents and Settings\da7950\Mes documents\Dropbox\cheetahImporter\mapiImport.py", line 42, in <module>

  File "D:\Documents and Settings\da7950\Mes documents\Dropbox\cheetahImporter\mapiImport.py", line 19, in getContacts     
    for contact in filter(lambda x: x.Class == 40,self.mapiContacts) :

    return self._get_good_object_(self._oleobj_.Invoke(*(81, LCID, 1, 1, item)), "Item") 
com_error: (-2147352567, "Une exception s'est produite.", (4096, u'Microsoft Office Outlook', u'Index de la matrice en dehors des limites.', None, 0, -2147352567), None) 

The message means "Matrix index out of bounds". The strangiest thing is that after I called EnsureDispatch, win32com.client.Dispatch doesn't works anymore. I have to uninstall pywin32 and reinstall it...

I'm running with Python2.7.3 32-bit with Outlook 2003 32-bit

Thanks

I took a closer look at this, and the makepy code is checking for the
NewEnum method, but it doesn't appear in the TypeInfo.  I think the right
thing to do would be to always try to Invoke DISPID_NEWENUM first, and fall
back to iterating Items if that fails.

Message:
So it looks like we need to work out why _NewEnum isn't being used in that
case, as Roger mentioned.

DumpDispatch is just like regular Dispatch when EnsureDispatch hasn't been
used.  IOW, DumbDispatch will always ignore the magic done by
EnsureDispatch.

Thx for fast answer !

you're both right, outlook is using a 1-base index. If i try this simple
code :

import win32com.client
olApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application")
namespace = olApp.GetNamespace(u"MAPI")
# olFolderContacts = 10 :
mapiContacts = namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10).Items
print mapiContacts[0]    # INDEX 0 CRASHES

It crashes with the same error. But if i try with index 1, 2, 3 etc. it
works !

My code works with win32com.client.dynamic.DumbDispatch. What's the cons of
DumbDispatch ?

Message:
FWIW, EnsureDispatch will generated code into the win32com\client\gen_py
directory (or possibly in %temp%\gen_py) - removing that directory should
avoid needing to reinstall pywin32 to reset the behaviour.

As to the problem itself, can you check if "self.mapiContacts.Items(0)"
throws an exception?  I'm wondering if the code is looping, but isn't
handling the exception to stop the looping correctly (ie, I'm wondering if
the code is failing *after* it successfully enumerates the contacts or
before).

Message:
It appears outlook is using a 1-based index for the contact items.
When using the generated wrapper classes, iteration is performed by
calling for Items starting with 0, and throws the error you're seeing.

The dynamic Dispatch is querying for an iterator using DISPID_NEWENUM,
and the resulting enumerator works regardless of the indexing scheme.
The makepy generated classes should probably use that same process.

As a workaround, you can use win32com.client.dynamic.DumbDispatch to
get the dynamic behaviour for just the mapiContacts object.
You can remove the makepy support by simply clearing the \win32com\gen_py
directory rather than reinstalling.

So when i replace :

With : 

olApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application") 

It returns this errors :

The message means "Matrix index out of bounds". The strangiest thing is that after I called EnsureDispatch, win32com.client.Dispatch doesn't works anymore. I have to uninstall pywin32 and reinstall it...

I'm running with Python2.7.3 32-bit with Outlook 2003 32-bit

Thx for fast answer !

you're both right, outlook is using a 1-base index. If i try this simple
code :

import win32com.client
olApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application")
namespace = olApp.GetNamespace(u"MAPI")
# olFolderContacts = 10 :
mapiContacts = namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10).Items
print mapiContacts[0]    # INDEX 0 CRASHES

It crashes with the same error. But if i try with index 1, 2, 3 etc. it
works !

My code works with win32com.client.dynamic.DumbDispatch. What's the cons of
DumbDispatch ?

FWIW, EnsureDispatch will generated code into the win32com\client\gen_py
directory (or possibly in %temp%\gen_py) - removing that directory should
avoid needing to reinstall pywin32 to reset the behaviour.

As to the problem itself, can you check if "self.mapiContacts.Items(0)"
throws an exception?  I'm wondering if the code is looping, but isn't
handling the exception to stop the looping correctly (ie, I'm wondering if
the code is failing *after* it successfully enumerates the contacts or
before).

I've got a strange problem :

From this question on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11630973/makepy-error-xceedzip-dll

If a module contains constants whose repr() can't be used as a constructor,
it will get written to the generated file anyway, causing a SyntaxError when
it's imported.
In this case it was a time, generating the invalid code

get the dynamic behaviour for just the mapiContacts object.
You can remove the makepy support by simply clearing the \win32com\gen_py
directory rather than reinstalling.

Summary: EnsureDispatch error 2147352567 but not Dispatch

Initial Comment:
I've got a strange problem :

I'e trying to export Outlook Contacts in a List of Dictionnary. My code works perfectly with win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application). But it returns 0 contacts with win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application) that is supposed to be faster and "safer". Here's my code :

class MapiImport():     
	def __init__(self):         
		self.olApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")         
		self.namespace = self.olApp.GetNamespace(u"MAPI")         
		# olFolderContacts = 10 :         
		self.mapiContacts = self.namespace.GetDefaultFolder(10).Items      
	def getContacts(self, *fields):         
		contacts = []         
		# Class == 40 is ContactItem         
		# Class == 69 is DistListItem         
		# Exclude ditribution list and others objects != ContactItem         
		for contact in filter(lambda x: x.Class == 40,self.mapiContacts) :             
			if not fields :                 
				ctact = dict((x.Name,x.Value) for x in contact.ItemProperties)             
			else :                 
				ctact = {}                 
				for field in fields :                     
					itemProp = contact.itemProperties[field]                     
					ctact[field] = itemProp.Value             
			contacts.append(ctact)         
		return contacts  
#====TEST SCRIPT==== 
myMAPI = MapiImport() 
fields = (u"LastName",u"FirstName",u"Companies",           
		  u"HomeTelephoneNumber",u"Home2TelephoneNumber",           
		  u"MobileTelephoneNumber",           
		  u"BusinessTelephoneNumber",u"Business2TelephoneNumber",           
		  u"Email1Address",u"Email2Address",u"Email3Address",           
		  u"HomeAddress",u"BusinessAddress",           
		  u"Birthday",u"Anniversary",           
		  u"Body") 
print(myMAPI.getContacts(*fields)) 


So when i replace :

olApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application") 

With : 

olApp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application") 

It returns this errors :

Traceback (most recent call last):   
  File "D:\Documents and Settings\da7950\Mes documents\Dropbox\cheetahImporter\mapiImport.py", line 42, in <module>     
    print(myMAPI.getContacts(*fields))   
  File "D:\Documents and Settings\da7950\Mes documents\Dropbox\cheetahImporter\mapiImport.py", line 19, in getContacts     
    for contact in filter(lambda x: x.Class == 40,self.mapiContacts) :   
  File "D:\Documents and Settings\da7950\Mes documents\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046x0x9x2\_Items.py", line 122, in __getitem__     
    return self._get_good_object_(self._oleobj_.Invoke(*(81, LCID, 1, 1, item)), "Item") 
com_error: (-2147352567, "Une exception s'est produite.", (4096, u'Microsoft Office Outlook', u'Index de la matrice en dehors des limites.', None, 0, -2147352567), None) 

The message means "Matrix index out of bounds". The strangiest thing is that after I called EnsureDispatch, win32com.client.Dispatch doesn't works anymore. I have to uninstall pywin32 and reinstall it...

I'm running with Python2.7.3 32-bit with Outlook 2003 32-bit

Thanks
