[Zope-dev] COM

[Jim Sanford]

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']])
