thread and win32com.client problem

R

Ray

Hi, I have a problem with thread and win32com.client
running python 2.5 on vista (activestate python)

import win32com.client, thread
def child(test):
problem=win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
print 'hello from thread', test
def parent():
i=0
while 1:
i+=1
thread.start_new(child,('abc',))
if raw_input()=='q': break
parent()

above codes will give me error when I run it.
but if without the line
problem=win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
it just works fine.


errors are:

Unhandled exception in thread started by <function child at
0x01E690F0>
