win32com, generating the cache programaticaly?

[Andrew Markebo]

Hello!

I am messing around with communicating between LabVIEW and Python, got
it to work by a small 'fix' (grabbing the generated file, and
importing it by hand)

What I might want to do, is to automatically generate the data done by
executing makepy.py and run by it.

What I select in makepy.py is a library "LabVIEW data 7.1", I would
like to do this from my program. Any hints?

Then, is it possible making this on a minor mode, basically I have
only to dig out the CLSID of "LabVIEW data 7.1" and put it into the
generated file.. sort of??

You can use win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch
to automatically generate the makepy file for an object's library
when the object is created. Use the bForDemand option to
only generate the code for objects as needed.

Drats, I get an:

raise TypeError, "This COM object can not automate the makepy process
- please run makepy manually for this object"

Thanx anyway!
