Access denied calling FireEvent in Python
by calfdog＠yahoo.com April 7, 2005

April 7, 2005

Hello, Does anyone know a workaround for calling fireEvent. With the latest from Microsoft OS XP2 and Hot fixes to IE it now gives an "access denied" error in Python when called. Here is what I am trying to do: Set the "campus" listbox value and theb call fire event, such as in the code below. I get an "access denied" error. example code: ie = DispatchEx('InternetExplorer.Application') # Some code to navigate to the site, wait till doc is not busy and # ReadyState is complete...blah..blah... ie.Document.forms[0].campus.value = '200' ie.Document.forms[0].campus.fireEvent('onchange') HTML code: <select style="font-size: 10" name="campus" onChange="if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value != 0) populate(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)"> <option value=0>Select a campus <option value="200">Norman Campus <option value="501">Advanced Programs <option value="502">Liberal Studies <option value="504">Academic Programs (CAFE) <option value="505">OU Tulsa</select> If you call: fireEvent('onchange') fireEvent('onclick') fireEvent('onFocus') etc... You will get an Access Denied This only happens with either the newer version of IE and XP2. I was able to call the exact same code with XP1 and Win2000 Pro and it work fine. So something has changed with I.E. and is not being handled in Python. example code: ie.Document.forms[0].campus.fireEvent('onchange') Trace: File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 310, in RunScript exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__ File "C:\QA\Tools\cPAMIE150\oCScript2.py", line 24, in ? ie2.Document.forms[0].campus.fireEvent('onchange') File "C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 165, in __call__ return self._get_good_object_(self._oleobj_.Invoke(*allArgs),self._olerepr_.defaultDispatchName,None) com_error: (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None) Help would be much appreciated!!

Looks like a very elaborate component. Is there anything simpler? I'd need just simple HTML editing with formatting (bold, italic), links, and tables.

hi people. when i create a widget, such as a toplevel window, and then i destroy it, how can i test that it has been destroyed? the problem is that even after it has been destroyed, the instance still exists and has a tkinter name, so testing for None is not feasible: >>> import Tkinter >>> fin = None >>> fin1 = Tkinter.Toplevel() >>> fin1.destroy() >>> print fin1 .1075951116 any help? bye macs

getting text from WinXP console
by Chris Maloof April 6, 2005

April 6, 2005

Hello, Does anyone know how I can read the ASCII text from a console window (from another application) in WinXP? It doesn't sound like a major operation, but although I can find the window via pywin32, I haven't been able to do anything with it. I'd really just like to get the window text into a string. By "console window", I mean the sort of thing that comes up when you run "command" (although this particular one is for the game NetHack). Thanks, Chris

Or is there a command line switch to do so? Too much work. I'd have to go upgrade a half-dozen machines. I guess I'll just live with the warning. It sort of sucks that you get warned about something which you can't fix. >> <path>.py:233: FutureWarning: hex/oct constants > sys.maxint will return >> positive values in Python 2.4 and up -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

redundant imports
by max(01)* April 5, 2005

April 5, 2005

hi everybody. suppose that code-1.py imports code-2.py and code-3.py (because it uses names from both), and that code-2.py imports code-3.py. if python were c, code-1.c should only *include* code-2.c, because the latter in turns includes code-3.c. inclusion of modules in c is a purely preprocessing textual matter (compilation is deferred to after the fact), i guess, so that such things are possible. import of modules in python is a different beast, so the "redundancy" is (i think) necessary. any comment/suggestion/idea? bye macs

Carsten, haven't heard anything from Stephen either, but there are some extensions to the informixdb module. I'll send the sources to you next week. So if you like you can bundle everything in one package. Kind greetings, Michael
