ISSUE: COM Excel Sort works with Early Binding, but not Late Binding,
but py2exe only does Late Binding
I have code similar to this (type from notes, so there may be a
typo...)
import win32com.client
xl = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xl.Visible = False
xl.ScreenUpdating = False
wb = xl.Workbooks.Open("h:\\p.xls")
sht = wb.Sheets("SheetName") # wb.Worksheets("Sheetname")
sht.Cells.Sort(Key1=sht.Cells(2,1), Order1=1, Header=1, Orientation=1)
Python: 2.4.3
pywin32 200
py2exe 0.6.5
Office 2000
The sort DOES NOT work if called from a normal install (e.g. using late
binding): the Header line gets sorted with all the data.

HOWEVER, If I run
makepy.py and select the "Microsoft Excel 9.0" (--> I'm typing this
from memory!)
and run it, it creates the GUID'd py file in gen_py
If I run the above code again (on a clean copy of the xls file), it
DOES sort the sheet correctly --- the header line is left alone.

Normally, this would not be an issue, but when I bundle my app using
py2exe it does not grab the gen_py stuff.
Any help appreciated...
