Hey,so I'm trying to take an existing IronPython script I have and convert it into a windows service that runs on one of our servers at all times. Unfortunately I can't seem to get the modules I need. I downloaded the pywin32 extensions (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/) but I can't install them because I only have IronPython ins...
The actual problem I'm trying to solve is, I want to automatically find out the size of the margins around windows. If you can find a better way, please by all means answer that instead of this. To do this I decided to take a screenshot of a test window and measure the margins. This is simple enough, as I expect no margins will ever be ...
If I call win32timezone.TimeZoneInfo.local().timeZoneName, it gives me the time zone name in the current locale (for example, on a Japanese machine, it returns u"東京 (標準時)").

I have created a simple program which uses pywin32. I want to deploy it as an executable, so I py2exe'd it. I also didn't want a huge amount of files, so I set bundle_files to 1 (meaning bundle everything together). However, when I attempt running it, I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pshelper.py", line 4, in <module> ...
Hi all - I'm using PyWin32's win32process.CreateProcess to start up a GUI program that has functionality I want to use in a Python class. I want to do the following from Python with this GUI: sent text to individual windows within the GUI (which seem to change identifiers every time I create the process if WinSpy++ is to be believed)...
I know I can use subprocess.Popen to run an executable, and potentially redirect stdin and stdout to files / using pipes to my process. Is there a way to run an executable such that the spawned process has no relation to the current Python process, however? Meaning, I want to start a process in the same way as if I would double-click on ...

I can get handles to each of the child windows within PythonWin using win32gui, as well as the titles of each of the files and the positions/sizes of t...
When launching a script-type python file from Windows you get a windows shell type window where the script runs. How can the script determine and also set/control the Window Size, Screen Buffer Size and Window Position of said window?. I suspect this can be done with the pywin32 module but I can't find how. ...
I've been able to read many of the Windows System Properties through Pywin32 and DSOFile, but I'm having trouble accessing the System.ContentStatus property. import win32com.client DSO = win32com.client.Dispatch("DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties") DSO.Open('C:\test.doc') print DSO.SummaryProperties.Company #works print DSO.SummaryProperti...
Hello, I need to list all Active Directory group's members - can I do this without using LDAP queries with PyWin's win32security, for instance?
