_ctypes.COMError: -2147467262

shaief commented 11 years ago

Hi Roman, First of all - thank you so much for this library. It is working great and allows me to do what i wanted just in Python. I wrote a simple script (with gui) and it worked well on my machine, but after compiling i tried it on two different machines and received an error. Here is a version of the error from each of the machines:

_ctypes.COMError: (-2147467262, 'No such interface supported', (None, None))
_ctypes.COMError: (-2147467262, '\xfe\xfe\xee\xee\xf9\xf7 \xee\xf1\xe5\xe2 \xe6\xe4 \xe0\xe9\xf0\xe5 \xf0\xfa\xee\xea', (None, None, None, 0, None))

reclosedev commented 11 years ago

Hi Shai.

Looks like the problem is in wrong type library loaded. Please try latest version from github. Or just replace code in installed package Python27\Lib\site-packages\pyautocad\api.py:

import logging
import comtypes
import glob
import os
try:
    import comtypes.client
    # generate modules for work with ACAD constants
    for pattern in ("acax*enu.tlb", "axdb*enu.tlb"):
        pattern = os.path.join(
            r"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared",
            pattern
        )
        tlib = glob.glob(pattern)[0]
        comtypes.client.GetModule(tlib)
    import comtypes.gen.AutoCAD as ACAD
except Exception:
    # we are under readthedocs.org and need to mock this
    ACAD = None

Also, what tool do you use for compiling your app to exe? If it's py2exe and previous fix didn't work, Please try cx_Ffreeze.

shaief commented 11 years ago

Hi Roman, Thanks! Did you update it recently? i downloaded it a week ago from PyPi (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyautocad/). Should i use your gitHub repository? I did compile with cx_Freeze, and it works on my machine perfectly.

Shai.

reclosedev commented 11 years ago

I didn't update PyPI yet. Please check it on machine where you had problem when you can. If it works, I'll update PyPI package. Did previous version worked on your machine?

shaief commented 11 years ago

Previews version worked perfectly on my machine. I did as you suggested, and now i get the attached error. What did i do wrong? AAC_Error_20130330

reclosedev commented 11 years ago

It's strange.

What AutoCad version do you use? Do you have AutoCAD 20xx VBA module installed?

shaief commented 11 years ago

It all worked before, so i guess i have. I try it on AutoCAD 2009.

What is the best way to clean install your gitHub version?

reclosedev commented 11 years ago

What is the best way to clean install your gitHub version?

Delete Python27\Lib\site-packages\pyautocad\ download https://github.com/reclosedev/pyautocad/archive/master.zip unpack and run

python setup.py install

Also, delete comtypes cache Python27\Lib\site-packages\comtypes\gen\

shaief commented 11 years ago

OK. Done that and stayed with the previous error. It is the machine that worked before, now i can't use the code here as well. That's weird.

Looks like comtypes setup is kinda broken (it links to svn version of package). Try to comment out comtypes requirement in setup.py

   install_requires=[
        #'comtypes',
        ],

And if you are trying to run compiled exe, delete c:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp\comtypes_cache\ directory

It's weird. I'd try to restart AutoCAD or/and to use PyPI version.

shaief commented 11 years ago

Oh, my bad. After installing the new version my AutoCAD was closed. I now opened it and it works.

Sorry!

Now i'll re-compile it and try on the other machines. I'll update if it will work.

Thanks a lot for your help and for the library!

shaief commented 11 years ago

Hi Roman, Here is an update: I still face the same error on three out of five computers running the compiled version of my code.

Do you have any idea what can cause this issue?

Thanks!

Shai.

reclosedev commented 11 years ago

Sorry, can't reproduce this issue. But I've tested compiled version only on following configurations: WinXP 32bit, Autocad 2008 Win7 32bit, Autocad 2013 Win7 64bit, Autocad 2013

shaief commented 11 years ago

Hi Roman, Well, it was an issue with my compilation. I didn't take into consideration differences between 64bit and 32bit systems, as i was initially compiling it on 64bit. Sorry for the hassle, i'm closing this issue.

Thanks a lot!

Shai.
