I have come up with what I need and will try tweaking some things that
hopefully will help me learn what some of this stuff does. In the meantime,
I am having an issue:
class *KeepAlive*(threading.Thread):
def *__init__*(*self*):
*self*.count = 0
*self*.ie=win32com.client.Dispatch(*'internetexplorer.application'*)
*self*.ie.Visible=0
threading.Thread.__init__(*self*)
def *run*(*self*):
*self*.ie.Navigate(URL)
sleep(5)
while True:
sleep(1)
*self*.count += 1
*self*.timeLeft = str((300 - *self*.count)/60) + *":"* + str((
300 - *self*.count)%60) + *" until next refresh"
*
print *self*.timeLeft
if *self*.count == 300:
*self*.ie.Refresh()
*self*.count = 0
This works if I call run() specifically. But when I try to initiate the
thread with .start() I get the following error
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python25\lib\threading.py", line 486, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "C:\app.py", line 104, in run
self.ie.Navigate(URL)
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 500,
in
__getattr__
raise AttributeError, "%s.%s" % (self._username_, attr)
AttributeError: internetexplorer.application.Navigate
What does this mean? Why is it only happening when I am trying to do this
in a thread?
Thanks for any help.
Kevin
