I'm struggeling to get win32com.client working with Solidworks 2014.
Here is my minimum example:
import win32com.client
model_path = 'MW_011_500.SLDDRW'
ret_val1 = 0
ret_val2 = 0
sw_app = win32com.client.Dispatch('SLDWORKS.Application')
sw_app.OpenDoc6(model_path, 1, 1, "", ret_val1, ret_val2)
I'm trying to automatize Solidwork with the help of python. I managed to get the comclient running and the server is answering the command to open a document. BUT I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 6, in <module>
sw_app.OpenDoc6(model_path, 1, 1, "", ret_val1, ret_val2)
File "<COMObject SLDWORKS.Application>", line 2, in OpenDoc6
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352571, 'Typkonflikt.', None, 5)**
The API function I'm using is documented here:
http://help.solidworks.com/2012/english/api/sldworksapi/solidworks.interop.sldworks~solidworks.interop.sldworks.isldworks~opendoc6.html
They error I receive, tell's me it's the wrong type of parameter I'm using. On the fith place of the call.
But is there a way to use win32com with reference parameter? If so, how? Or can't it work? I couldn't find any solutions yet.
Old question, but maybe you're still interested- use OpenDoc to pass the path and the file type (http://help.solidworks.com/2018/english/api/sldworksapi/solidworks.interop.sldworks~solidworks.interop.sldworks.isldworks~opendoc.html) or OpenDoc7 (for SW 2018 and later) and pass in only what you need with an open doc specification.
Otherwise you'd need to pass in variables by reference, which in my research Python doesn't allow.

I wrote the following code, which results in an error and I don't know how to fix it to work.
The code is:
# Name: ClipGDBtoNewGDB.py
# Description: Take an input GDB, create a list, iterate through each
feature class, clipping it and writing it to a new GDB.
# Author: tuilbox
# Import system modules
import arcpy, os
from arcpy import env
# Set workspace
env.workspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput=True
# Set local variables
fclist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
clip_features = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
output_directory=arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
xy_tolerance = ""
outgdb=os.path.join(output_directory, arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3))
if not arcpy.Exists(outgdb):
arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(output_directory,
arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3))
# Execute Clip within for loop
for fc in fclist:
arcpy.Clip_analysis(fc, clip_features, os.path.join(outgdb, fc))
The error is: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:/GIS_Joseph/Lab10_Joseph/ClipGDBtoNewGDB.py", line 17, in <module>
arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(output_directory, arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3))
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.5\ArcPy\arcpy\management.py", line 18878, in CreateFileGDB
raise e
ExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 000735: File GDB Location: Value is required
ERROR 000735: File GDB Name: Value is required

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
With this type of question it would be helpful to let us know what parameters you are passing into your script. Have you passed a valid parameter in position 3? Use arcpy.AddMessage to double check what value you are attempting to pass to arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management.
I've created a standalone exe Windows service written in Python and built with pyInstaller. When I try to import wmi, an exception is thrown.
What's really baffling is that I can do it without a problem if running the code in a foreground exe, or a foreground python script, or a python script running as a background service via pythonservice.exe!
Why does it fail under this special circumstance of running as a service exe?
import wmi
Produces this error for me:
com_error: (-2147221020, 'Invalid syntax', None, None)
Here's the traceback:

The first line in Moniker(), i.e. MkParseDisplayName() is where the exception is encountered:

moniker, i, bindCtx = pythoncom.MkParseDisplayName(Pathname)
dispatch = moniker.BindToObject(bindCtx, None, pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
return __WrapDispatch(dispatch, Pathname, clsctx=clsctx)
Note: I tried using
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
which apparently solves this import problem within a thread, but that didn't work...
I also face the same issue and I figure out this issue finally,
import pythoncom and CoInitialize pythoncom.CoInitialize (). They import wmi
import pythoncom
pythoncom.CoInitialize ()
import wmi
I tried solving this countless ways. In the end, I threw in the towel and had to just find a different means of achieving the same goals I had with wmi.
Apparently that invalid syntax error is thrown when trying to create an object with an invalid "moniker name", which can simply mean the service, application, etc. doesn't exist on the system. Under this circumstance "winmgmts" just can't be found at all it seems! And yes, I tried numerous variations on that moniker with additional specs, and I tried running the service under a different user account, etc.
Honestly I didn't dig in order to understand why this occurs.
Anyway, the below imports solved my problem - which was occurring only when ran from a Flask instance:
import os
import pythoncom
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
from win32com.client import GetObject
import wmi
The error "com_error: (-2147221020, 'Invalid syntax', None, None)" is exactly what popped up in my case so I came here after a long time of searching the web and voila:
Under this circumstance "winmgmts" just can't be found at all it
seems!
This was the correct hint for because i had just a typo , used "winmgmt:" without trailing 's'. So invalid sythax refers to the first methods parameter, not the python code itself. o_0 Unfortunately I can't find any reference which objects we can get with win32com.client.GetObject()... So if anybody has a hint to which params are "allowed" / should work, please port it here. :-)
kind regards

I'm trying to launch AWS EMR cluster using boto library, everything works well.
Because of that I need to install required python libraries, tried to add bootstrap action step using boto.emr.bootstrap_action
But It gives error below;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "run_on_emr_cluster.py", line 46, in <module>
steps=[step])
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/boto/emr/connection.py", line 552, in run_jobflow
bootstrap_action_args = [self._build_bootstrap_action_args(bootstrap_action) for bootstrap_action in bootstrap_actions]
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/boto/emr/connection.py", line 623, in _build_bootstrap_action_args
bootstrap_action_params['ScriptBootstrapAction.Path'] = bootstrap_action.path AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'path'
Code below;
from boto.emr.connection import EmrConnection
conn = EmrConnection('...', '...')
from boto.emr.step import StreamingStep
step = StreamingStep(name='mapper1',
mapper='s3://xxx/mapper1.py',
reducer='s3://xxx/reducer1.py',
input='s3://xxx/input/',
output='s3://xxx/output/')
from boto.emr.bootstrap_action import BootstrapAction
bootstrap_action = BootstrapAction(name='install related packages',path="s3://xxx/bootstrap.sh", bootstrap_action_args=None)
job = conn.run_jobflow(name='emr_test',
log_uri='s3://xxx/logs',
master_instance_type='m1.small',
slave_instance_type='m1.small',
num_instances=1,
action_on_failure='TERMINATE_JOB_FLOW',
keep_alive=False,
bootstrap_actions='[bootstrap_action]',
steps=[step])
What's the proper way of passing bootstrap arguments?
You are passing the bootstrap_actions argument as a literal string rather than as a list containing the BootstrapAction object you just created. Try this:
job = conn.run_jobflow(name='emr_test',
log_uri='s3://xxx/logs',
master_instance_type='m1.small',
slave_instance_type='m1.small',
num_instances=1,
action_on_failure='TERMINATE_JOB_FLOW',
keep_alive=False,
bootstrap_actions=[bootstrap_action],
steps=[step])
Notice that the ``bootstrap_action` argument is different here.
I'm trying to automate the addition of new portgroups to ESXi hosts using pysphere. I'm using the following code fragment:
from pysphere import MORTypes
from pysphere import VIServer, VIProperty
from pysphere.resources import VimService_services as VI
s = VIServer()
s.connect(vcenter, user, password)
host_system = s.get_hosts().keys()[17]
prop = VIProperty(s, host_system)
propname = prop.configManager._obj.get_element_networkSystem()
vswitch = prop.configManager.networkSystem.networkInfo.vswitch[0]
network_system = VIMor(propname, MORTypes.HostServiceSystem)
def add_port_group(name, vlan_id, vswitch, network_system):
request = VI.AddPortGroupRequestMsg()
_this = request.new__this(network_system)
_this.set_attribute_type(network_system.get_attribute_type())
request.set_element__this(_this)
portgrp = request.new_portgrp()
portgrp.set_element_name(name)
portgrp.set_element_vlanId(vlan_id)
portgrp.set_element_vswitchName(vswitch)
portgrp.set_element_policy(portgrp.new_policy())
request.set_element_portgrp(portgrp)
s._proxy.AddPortGroup(request)
However, when I attempt to run it, I get the following error:
>>> add_port_group(name, vlan_id, vswitch, network_system)
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise FaultException(msg)
pysphere.ZSI.FaultException: The object has already been deleted or has not been completely created
I've attempted to swap in different values for "vswitch" and "network_system", but I haven't had any success. Has anyone attempted to do something similar with pysphere successfully?
I can accomplish what I need through Powershell, which demonstrates that it isn't a vmware issue, but I don't want to use Powershell in this particular case.
I tried your code on one of our vSpheres.
It seems you are passing the object to set_element_vswitchName rather than the name. Maybe this will help:
vswitch = prop.configManager.networkSystem.networkInfo.vswitch[0].name
I have this very simple program:
from win32com import client
ie=client.Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
This used to work (I think I broke something when I re-used 'makepy.py' to try and add in constants for IE).
It still works on another machine where I haven't been so slap-dash with 'makepy.py'.
Here's what I get in an interactive Python session on the non-working machine:
>>> ie
>>> <win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Internet Controls.IWebBrowser2 instance at 0x14701432
>
>>> ie.Visible=True
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "D:\Python26\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 471, in
__setattr__
self._oleobj_.Invoke(*(args + (value,) + defArgs))
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352573, 'Member not found.', None, None)
And the same on a working machine:
>>> from win32com import client
>>> ie=client.Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
>>> ie
>>> <ComObject InternetExplorer.Application>
>>> ie.Visible=1 # This then brings up IE correctly.
How do I get this working again ? Or am I using the wrong way of launching IE ?
Thanks !
Went into here:
Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py
Renamed the .py and .pyc file to .py_ and .pyc_ files :
85CC894D-5673-4868-9A22-9E15B7E694D3x0x1x1.pyc
Restarted Python: now get the Internet Explorer. phew...
