What is this line? That doesn't look like part of a Python traceback. I suppose it is possible that the DLL is printing it before the exception is raised. Or did you type it yourself? > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "script1.py", line 5, in ? > Inst = lib.Initialize(0) > WindowsError: exception code 0xeedfade > > I get this when running python.exe script1.py You're still making it as hard as possible for anyone to help you. Is it a secret what DLL you are trying to call? What is "lib"? Googling on 0xeedfade suggests that it is an internal Delphi error, possibly an out-of-memory error. Are you calling a Delphi DLL? What does that exception mean? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
