PythonWin --> drwatson

2008-10-17 Thread Frank L. Thiel 
I have installed PythonWin from the  
distribution.  When I try to open it, the message "PyWin32 has 
encountered a problem ..." appears, and a drwatson error report is 
generated.


Python 2.6 itself, from a cmd window or using IDLE, works without problem.

I cannot find any reports of similar behavior in FAQs, forums, or 
general "googling", and am looking for suggestions of remedies.


Running WinXP Home, SP3.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Frank,

Have you tried uninstalling PythonWin and reinstalling it using the
Windows installer package? Is there any entry in the Event Viewer
application log when this happens?



Thanks for your reply, Allan.  I am not sure what you mean by "the 
Windows installer package" -- a *.msi file?.  I cannot find a *.msi file 
at Sourceforge, which is where the  came 
from.  When I use the latter (I have uninstalled and reinstalled using 
this many times now!), I get no error entries in the Event Viewer. 
However, when I try to open PythonWin, the Event Viewer shows the 
following message:


"Faulting application pythonwin.exe, version 2.6.212.0, faulting module 
mfc90.dll, version 9.0.21022.8, fault address 0x0004453f."

Do you have a version of python 2.6 installed? (I'm surprised the
standalone win32 package for Python 2.6 is even available already).
Granted, win32 is maintained as a separate package, but the ActiveState
Python download (which includes it by default) is still only on Python
2.5.2


Yes, Dennis, I have Python 2.6 installed, and it works perfectly from a 
cmd window and from IDLE.

FWIW, I have Python 2.6 + pywin32 build 212 installed on XP SP3 and both 
the command line interpreter, IDLE, and Pythonwin they all work fine.




Is yours XP Home or XP Pro?  Mine, where Python 2.6 works but pywin 32 
build 212 does not, is XP Home.
