[Zope-dev] COM

11 Apr 2000


      Have managed to get by the CoInitialize problem using COM with Zope in an external method. The method has been tested in straight
python 1.52 and works great there.

Now I need some help. Here is the traceback:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Error type:  AttributeError

WordR is reproduced below. It works fine in regular Python:

import os, sys, pickle
from client import constants, Dispatch
WORD = 'Word.Application.8'
False, True = 0, -1
import string

class Word:
    def __init__(self):
        self.app = Dispatch(WORD)
    def open(self, doc):
        self.app.Documents.Open(FileName=doc)
    def replace(self, source, target):
        find = self.app.Selection.Find
        find.Text = source
        self.app.Selection.Find.Execute()
        self.app.Selection.TypeText(Text=target)
    def printdoc(self):
        self.app.Application.PrintOut()
    def close(self):
        self.app.ActiveDocument.Close(SaveChanges=True)

def formletter(doc,rplctuple):
    word = Word()
    word.open(doc)
    for x in rplclist:
        word.replace(x[0],x[1])
    word.close()

def WordReplace(TmpltFile,ReplaceFile,ReplaceList):
    from shutil import copyfile
    copyfile(TmpltFile,ReplaceFile)
    formletter(ReplaceFile,ReplaceList)

# WordReplace(r"q:\atidb\users\u\wwwTestTmplt.doc", r"q:\atidb\users\u\Test10.doc",
[['<FirstName>','Jim'],['<LastName>','Sanford']])
