Python win32com SaveAs2 error when I try to save file

def convert_to_word():
target = pwd + "/open.doc"
source = pwd + "/template.html"
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Word.Application")
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
# try:
app.Documents.Open(source)
app.Documents.SaveAs2(target,FileFormat=0)
app.Documents.Open(source)
app.Selection.WholeStory()
app.Selection.Fields.Unlink()
app.Documents.Save()
# except Exception as e:
# print(e)
# finally:
app.ActiveDocument.Close()
I need to save html file to .doc, but it report a error <unknown>.SaveAs2 which I cant solve.
Can anyone help me ? Thanks

My first answer on stackoverflow ...
I had had same troubles then I have found solution:
Your code seems to be almost OK. You just need to store your opened document to a variable and then use SaveAs2 function on the variable.
my_doc = app.Documents.Open(source)
my_doc.SaveAs2(target, FileFormat=0)

Restart script when error happens and continue with right line in csv file

hi guys its my first time to ask help here i hope you can help me
i have this code that i write it
def my_function():
try :
with open('file.csv', 'r') as f:
data = list(csv.reader(f, delimiter=','))
i = 1
while i <= 10:
i += 1
fname = data[i][0]
lname = data[i][1]
options = Options()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://www.test.net/")
#Do staff
except Exception as e:
print(e)
driver.quit()
time.sleep(1)
print('******RESTART******')
my_function()
my_function()
well i'm trying to make this script run without stop .. the problem that i'm facing is when it stops for example in line number 8 (i = 8) and restart again ,it starts from first line (i = 1) .
i want the script to restart from line 8 and continue to 9 , 10 ...
can you please guide me to the right solution .. thank you

Your code is making this far more difficult than it needs to be.
First, you almost certainly don't want to wrap this entire block of code in a "catch all" exception handler. You want your exception handling to be sufficiently specific (limited) that you can do something meaningful with the exception. For example:
#!python
# Assumes Python version 3 or later
import sys, csv
filename='myfile.csv'
with open(filename as f:
try:
reader = csv.reader(f)
for record in reader:
if len(record) != 2:
# log error and continue
print('Malformed records in {}: {}'.format(filename, reader.line_num), file=sys.stderr)
continue
# do stuff with this record, knowing it has exactly two fields:
fname = record[0]
lname = record[1]
# etc ...
except csv.Error as e:
print('Error handling {} at line {}: {}'.format(filename, reader.line_num, e), file=sys.stderr)
Note that your errors probably weren't specifically in the csv module. It's pretty tolerant of malformed lines. But I'm showing how to wrap the reader and processing code within exception handling just for that. Your error was probably an IndexError (trying to access an item past the number of items in a list ... outside of its valid indexing range. It's better to just check the length of each record rather than use exception handling for that ... though it's possible either way.
There's a quite reasonable example (very similar code) in the documentation for the standard libraries: https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html
Also, stylistically, I'd suggest that a named tuple or a lightweight class (using __slots__) for managing these records. This would allow you to use dot notation to access the .fname and .lname of each rather than using [x] and numeric indexing. (Numeric indexing gets progressively more cumbersome and error prone as your code complexity increases).

You can set i to a key word argument with a default of 1 then on each exception pass the current i when you restart your function so it picks up from there.
This is a simplified example of what I'm recommending following the same general method you are using in your question (but with fake data so I can run it without having your CSV file).
def my_function(i=1):
try:
if i == 4: # to prevent forever recursion
return
else:
print(i) # keep track of loops
i += 1
x = int('te') # causes an error
except ValueError:
my_function(i) # send current i back through
my_function(i=0)

thank you for your quick response .. i tried the solution provided by –Kevin Welch and –Selcuk it works fine for me thx
here is the solution
def my_function():
try :
with open('file.csv', 'r') as f:
data = list(csv.reader(f, delimiter=','))
i = 1
while i <= 10:
i += 1
try :
fname = data[i][0]
lname = data[i][1]
options = Options()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://www.test.net/")
# Do staff
except Exception as e:
print(e)
driver.quit()
time.sleep(1)
print('******RESTAR******')
continue

How to skip one part of a single loop iteration in Python

I am creating about 200 variables within a single iteration of a python loop (extracting fields from excel documents and pushing them to a SQL database) and I am trying to figure something out.
Let's say that a single iteration is a single Excel workbook that I am looping through in a directory. I am extracting around 200 fields from each workbook.
If one of these fields I extract (lets say field #56 out of 200) and it isn't in proper format (lets say the date was filled out wrong ie. 9/31/2015 which isnt a real date) and it errors out with the operation I am performing.
I want the loop to skip that variable and proceed to creating variable #57. I don't want the loop to completely go to the next iteration or workbook, I just want it to ignore that error on that variable and continue with the rest of the variables for that single loop iteration.
How would I go about doing something like this?
In this sample code I would like to continue extracting "PolicyState" even if ExpirationDate has an error.
Some sample code:
import datetime as dt
import os as os
import xlrd as rd
files = os.listdir(path)
for file in files: #Loop through all files in path directory
filename = os.fsdecode(file)
if filename.startswith('~'):
continue
elif filename.endswith( ('.xlsx', '.xlsm') ):
try:
book = rd.open_workbook(os.path.join(path,file))
except KeyError:
print ("Error opening file for "+ file)
continue
SoldModelInfo=book.sheet_by_name("SoldModelInfo")
AccountName=str(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,5).value)
ExpirationDate=dt.datetime.strftime(xldate_to_datetime(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,7).value),'%Y-%m-%d')
PolicyState=str(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,6).value)
print("Insert data of " + file +" was successful")
else:
continue

Use multiple try blocks. Wrap each decode operation that might go wrong in its own try block to catch the exception, do something, and carry on with the next one.
try:
book = rd.open_workbook(os.path.join(path,file))
except KeyError:
print ("Error opening file for "+ file)
continue
errors = []
SoldModelInfo=book.sheet_by_name("SoldModelInfo")
AccountName=str(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,5).value)
try:
ExpirationDate=dt.datetime.strftime(xldate_to_datetime(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,7).value),'%Y-%m-%d')
except WhateverError as e:
# do something, maybe set a default date?
ExpirationDate = default_date
# and/or record that it went wrong?
errors.append( [ "ExpirationDate", e ])
PolicyState=str(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,6).value)
...
# at the end
if not errors:
print("Insert data of " + file +" was successful")
else:
# things went wrong somewhere above.
# the contents of errors will let you work out what

As suggested you could use multiple try blocks on each of your extract variable, or you could streamline it with your own custom function that handles the try for you:
from functools import reduce, partial
def try_funcs(cell, default, funcs):
try:
return reduce(lambda val, func: func(val), funcs, cell)
except Exception as e:
# do something with your Exception if necessary, like logging.
return default
# Usage:
AccountName = try_funcs(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,5).value, "some default str value", str)
ExpirationDate = try_funcs(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,7).value), "some default date", [xldate_to_datetime, partial(dt.datetime.strftime, '%Y-%m-%d')])
PolicyState = try_funcs(SoldModelInfo.cell(1,6).value, "some default str value", str)
Here we use reduce to repeat multiple functions, and pass partial as a frozen function with arguments.
This can help your code look tidy without cluttering up with lots of try blocks. But the better, more explicit way is just handle the fields you anticipate might error out individually.

So, basically you need to wrap your xldate_to_datetime() call into try ... except
import datetime as dt
v = SoldModelInfo.cell(1,7).value
try:
d = dt.datetime.strftime(xldate_to_datetime(v), '%Y-%m-%d')
except TypeError as e:
print('Could not parse "{}": {}'.format(v, e)

Add Entries Python-LDAP

I'm trying to add entries with python ldap. I'm getting a naming convention error. My code is
import ldap
import ldap.modlist as modlist
LOGIN = ""
PASSWORD = ''
LDAP_URL = "ldap://127.0.0.1:389"
user='grant'
l = ldap.initialize(LDAP_URL)
l.bind(LOGIN, PASSWORD)
dn="ou=Enki Users,dc=enki,dc=local"
attrs = {}
attrs['objectclass'] = ['top','organizationalRole','simpleSecurityObject']
attrs['cn'] = 'test'
attrs['userPassword'] = 'test'
attrs['description'] = 'User object for replication using slurpd'
# Convert our dict to nice syntax for the add-function using modlist-module
ldif = modlist.addModlist(attrs)
# Do the actual synchronous add-operation to the ldapserver
l.add_s(dn,ldif)
# Its nice to the server to disconnect and free resources when done
l.unbind_s()
The error is:
ldap.NAMING_VIOLATION: {'info': "00002099: NameErr: DSID-0305109C, problem 2005 (NAMING_VIOLATION), data 0, best match of:\n\t'dc=enki,dc=local'\n", 'desc': 'Naming violation'}
The code that runs but doesn't insert the user into the correc organizational unit is the following code. However even though it runs I can't find the user in active directory. Please help me find whats wrong. I'm basically making a django webform for user management.
import ldap
import ldap.modlist as modlist
LOGIN = ""
PASSWORD = ''
LDAP_URL = "ldap://127.0.0.1:389"
user='grant'
l = ldap.initialize(LDAP_URL)
l.bind(LOGIN, PASSWORD)
dn="cn=test,ou=Enki Users,dc=enki,dc=local"
attrs = {}
attrs['objectclass'] = ['top','organizationalRole','simpleSecurityObject']
attrs['cn'] = 'test'
attrs['userPassword'] = 'test'
attrs['description'] = 'User object for replication using slurpd'
# Convert our dict to nice syntax for the add-function using modlist-module
ldif = modlist.addModlist(attrs)
# Do the actual synchronous add-operation to the ldapserver
l.add_s(dn,ldif)
# Its nice to the server to disconnect and free resources when done
l.unbind_s()

I speculate (but have not tested to prove it) that the root cause of your error is that your entry does not contain a "naming attribute" that matches the leftmost attribute in the DN of your entry, which in your case is ou=Enki Users. To add this naming attribute to the entry, you can add the following line in the part of your code that populates the attrs dict.
attrs['ou'] = 'Enki Users'

try: and exception: error

So i am working on this code below. It complied alright when my Reff.txt has more than one line. But it doesnt work when my Reff.txt file has one line. Why is that? I also wondering why my code doesn't run "try" portion of my code but it always run only "exception" part.
so i have a reference file which has a list of ids (one id per line)
I use the reference file(Reff.txt) as a reference to search through the database from the website and the database from the server within my network.
The result i should get is there should be an output file and file with information of that id; for each reference id
However, this code doesn't do anything on my "try:" portion at all
import sys
import urllib2
from lxml import etree
import os
getReference = open('Reff.txt','r') #open the file that contains list of reference ids
global tID
for tID in getReference:
tID = tID.strip()
try:
with open(''+tID.strip()+'.txt') as f: pass
fileInput = open(''+tID+'.txt','r')
readAA = fileInput.read()
store_value = (readAA.partition('\n'))
aaSequence = store_value[2].replace('\n', '') #concatenate lines
makeList = list(aaSequence)#print makeList
inRange = ''
fileAddress = '/database/int/data/'+tID+'.txt'
filename = open(fileAddress,'r')#name of the working file
print fileAddress
with open(fileAddress,'rb') as f:
root = etree.parse(f)
for lcn in root.xpath("/protein/match[#dbname='PFAM']/lcn"):#find dbname =PFAM
start = int(lcn.get("start"))#if it is PFAM then look for start value
end = int(lcn.get("end"))#if it is PFAM then also look for end value
while start <= end:
inRange = makeList[start]
start += 1
print outputFile.write(inRange)
outputFile.close()
break
break
break
except IOError as e:
newURL ='http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/'+tID+'.fasta'
print newURL
response = urllib2.urlopen(''+newURL) #go to the website and grab the information
creatNew = open(''+uniprotID+'.txt','w')
html = response.read() #read file
creatNew.write(html)
creatNew.close()

So, when you do Try/Except - if try fails, Except runs. Except is always running, because Try is always failing.
Most likely reason for this is that you have this - "print outputFile.write(inRange)", but you have not previously declared outputFile.
ETA: Also, it looks like you are only interested in testing to the first pass of the for loop? You break at that point. Your other breaks are extraneous in that case, because they will never be reached while that one is there.
