Bogus embedded manifest in pywintypes26.dll (and also pywintypes27.dll)

October 4, 2011, 1:06 pm

pywintypes26.dll contains a bogus embedded manifest:

The dependency part being empty.

When using pyInstaller to create a .exe from a python script, 2 dll are mandatory: python26.dll and pywintypes26.dll. python26.dll has a dependency on the C run time library, which is correctly embedded. The bogus manifest of pywintypes26.dll makes a pop up appear when running the executable created by pyInstaller:

Runtime Error!

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.

Would it be possible to remove the bogus embedded manifest from pywintypes26.dll? The file available from pywin32 distribution on SourceForge does not contain any manifest and using that manifest free dll fixes the problem (the error R6034 goes away).

I do not know if there are other dll with bogus embedded manifest, I only found that one.

Windows 7 compatibility for older versions

We have a long-running development project that is using Python 2.5.1. We need to transition our development desktops (but not our target system) to Windows 7 64-bit, but are not sure if the 2.5.1 version will run successfully. While we can obviously do some simple testing, there's no way to test ALL of the release :-)

Is there any information covering compatibility with newer OS versions?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a problem with getting pythonwin to run and I need your help please! I have installed python 2.7 on Windows 7 and if I double click on pythonwin.exe (C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin) then it loads but comes up with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\Lib\SITE-P~1\PYTHON~1\pywin\framework\intpyapp.py", line 181, in InitInstance

dllid = win32api.LoadLibrary("Scintilla.DLL")
error: (193, 'LoadLibrary', '%1 is not a valid Win32 application.')

The debugger loads but then won't allow me to load any files and is therefore not really useful. Any suggestions or help would be gratefully received.

Thanks

ActivePython2.7.2.5's Tkinter NOT using 8.6 after installing ActiveTcl 8.6.0.0b6

Hi,
Has anybody been able to get Tk 8.6 working using any addition of ActivePython?
No matter what I try, it just keeps on loading the old 8.5.

I have looked into the source and looks like the "setup.py" needs to have the "8.6" prefixed there, else it will never do so.
So I am guessing this has not yet happened on any of the available ActivePython builds that are available....at least for the MAC.

Its strange since there is a ActiveTcl 8.6.0.0b6 install now available - but quite useless to those trying to use it from Python.

Hope this gets resolves soon as there are a number of things broken in Tk 8.5 on the MAC.

Best Regards

Keith

Hi!

Are there any plans to release a 2.7.3 build of ActivePython? The current build available is 2.7.2, and hasn't been updated at least since June 2011. Python 2.7.3 was released on April 9, 2012.

According to this (http://community.activestate.com/node/8273) post on the Forums, dated Mon, 2012-04-02 19:44: "[...]with a release of 2.7.3 in the near future."

Thanks a lot

Can someone lead me step by step to getting AS python to load?

MacOS Mavericks ActiveState Python inoperable

October 28, 2013, 8:12 am

There seem to be multiple problems with 3.3 and 3.2 ActiveState Pythons on Mavericks.

So far I've found that

1) readline needs some low level patch in end user's computers, which end users of Python application are unlikely to have skill set or desire to do.

2) python GUI features don't draw or refresh correctly, for example pop-up tooltips in tkinter don't draw text at all, tree view open/close clicks only refresh seconds or minutes later, etc. Not sure if this is in Python or the 8.6 separate tcl install.

3) the distribution of py2app no longer builds an app under Mavericks, not sure if that's due to operation inside python or not

It seems that a thorough test cycle of all the features in all the releases of Python, & TCL is needed (some may need 3.3, TCL 8.6, some may need earlier releases).

Traceback Error from Python2.7 and 3.3 Interactive Shell Prompt

Okay!
Just successfully activated my ActiveState Komodo 8.x and tried to write my first interactive shell program. But when I navigated to Tools -> Interactive Shell -> Start New Python3 Shell, viola! I get series of traceback something looking like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/Komodo-IDE-8/lib/support/dbgp/bin/py3_dbgp", line 305, in
sys.exit( main(sys.argv) )

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/locale.py", line 433, in _parse_localename
raise ValueError('unknown locale: %s' % localename)
ValueError: unknown locale: en_NG

Decided to pay the first file a visit (cos when you use Linux you need to learn to tweak some things right!) that is : "/root/Komodo-IDE-8/lib/support/dbgp/bin/py3_dbgp" ,
it started with : #!/usr/bin/env python , then tried running `python' in BASH but Python2.7 and not 3.3 started!

I was left with just one more tweak so I decided to unalias python from Python2.7 well it didn't work cos the alias my Python3.3 has is 'python3'.

Not sure what to do next, so I humbly implore the community to please help me out this.

Muchas Gracias! (I don't speak Spanish :-) )

Robust Python 3 Installation on Mac?

I am trying to achieve a robust Python 3 installation.
This is for learning and personal use only.
My starting point is a MacBook Air with OS X 10.9.2.
From the terminal window Python 2.7.5 works fine.
I installed Python 3.3.5 from python.org
IDLE sees Tcl/Tk 8.5.9 which it reports to be potentially unstable
I installed the recommended ActiveTcl 8.6.1
Python 3.3.5 still sees Tcl/Tk 8.5.9.
Finding that the binding is supposed to be dynamic upon installation I uninstalled Python 3.3.5
I reinstalled Python 3.3.5
Python 3.3.5 still sees Tcl/Tk 8.5.9.
I uninstalled Python 3.3.5 again
I installed ActivePython 3.3.2.0 (remember that ActiveTcl 8.6.1 is still installed)
AcivePython 3.3.2.0 still reports TclTk 8.5.9 in use and potentially unstable.
Other than giving thanks that I am not trying to make any money doing this, what next?
