Cool!  That works!

Thanks again and sorry for being such a pain.

I get the same error, try notepad_slow.py - that one works. I don't think
it's worth investing time in figuring out why it's not working, but the
error gives a clue.

If notepad_slow works for you then you're all set. Come back with any
questions about the project you're working on or search the list for similar
issues. There are a few pitfalls that you'll see have common answers.

OK.  I installed the missing packages from below, but pip install pywinauto
still came back with "install" being an unknown command.

So I did the python.exe setup.py install and below is what I got.

c:\Python27\pywinauto-0.4.0>python.exe setup.py install

running install

running build

running build_py

running install_lib

running install_egg_info

Removing c:\python27\Lib\site-packages\pywinauto-0.4.0-py2.7.egg-info

Writing c:\python27\Lib\site-packages\pywinauto-0.4.0-py2.7.egg-info

That *looks* like success to me, is it?

I tried to run the "notepad_fast.py" example, but that gave me the following
errors:

c:\Python27\pywinauto-0.4.0\examples>python notepad_fast.py

Run with option 'language' e.g. notepad_fast.py language to use

application data. This should work on any language Windows/Notepad

Trying fast timing settings - it's  possible these won't work

if pywinauto tries to access a window that is not accessible yet

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "notepad_fast.py", line 269, in <module>

    RunNotepad()

  File "notepad_fast.py", line 59, in RunNotepad

    if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1].lower() == 'language':

NameError: global name 'sys' is not defined

Having notepad already opened did not make a difference.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Craigbert

Ah yes, this can be fun. Getting the entire environment installed requires a
bit of work.

It only works with 32 bit as Vasily mentioned.

These are the installs I use for automation:

http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi/index.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
http://web.dyfis.net/SendKeys-0.3.win32-py2.7.exe

WMI is not needed to get pywinauto working but I find I'll need it for
certain projects.

c:\python27\Scripts\pip.exe install pywinauto

I just ran through a complete install from scratch and this worked.

Vasily & Ken,

Thanks to both of you for your help so far.

I have installed the 32-bit Python 2.7 stuff.

When I run "pip install pywinauto" it complains that "install" is an unknown
command.

So I tried python.exe setup.py and that complains that SendKeys needs to be
installed.

Now I go to try to install SendKeys, but it wants Python 2.6.  

Now I go back to Python.org and all they have on the downloads for 2.6 are
the tar balls, which I don't think will do me any good.

Do I need to send a mail to the SendKey maintainers asking them to
recompile, or whatever, to produce a 2.7 flavor of SendKeys?

Thanks again for helping a n00b.

Craigbert

     Hello Craig,

Different sizes of structures mean that you use 64-bit Python. Try to
install pywinauto on 32-bit Python.

Best regards,

-Vasily.

Hello All,

I am having problems installing pywinauto.

When I run python.exe setup.py install I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "setup.py", line 50, in <module>

    import pywinauto

  File "C:\Users\craig\bin\pywinauto\pywinauto-0.4.0\pywinauto\__init__.py",
lin

e 28, in <module>

    import findwindows

  File
"C:\Users\craig\bin\pywinauto\pywinauto-0.4.0\pywinauto\findwindows.py",

line 32, in <module>

    import win32structures

  File
"C:\Users\craig\bin\pywinauto\pywinauto-0.4.0\pywinauto\win32structures.p

y", line 458, in <module>

    assert sizeof(MENUITEMINFOW) == 44, sizeof(MENUITEMINFOW)

AssertionError: 48

Any ideas what I am doing wrong.  I am somewhat new to python so my depth of
ignorance right now knows no bounds.  J

I am running python 2.7 on Windows 7 professional.

Thanks,

Craigbert.
