CoInitialize error when using adodbapi

M

Max Ischenko

Hi,

I'm using adodbapi wrapper arount OLEDB driver and I got this error when
calling adodbapi.connect():
(-2147221008, 'CoInitialize has not been called.', None, None)

The weird part is that it occurs only when running under WebKit, my
standalone test programs run just fine.

I'm using py2.3 with win32all build 163, if that matters.

Any ideas?

Basically, adodbapi uses COM, and COM and threads require a bit of care,
apparently. Your webkit thing may be using a thread to handle stuff.

import pythoncom
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
.... code ...
pythoncom.CoUnitialize()

You need to call pythoncom.CoInitialize() once for each thread... theres
something about sys.coinit_flags = 0 (or 1) that may be nessecary but I
don't know what they mean precisely :)
