I like that approach very much because it enables people to use CATIA and Python even in a professional environment. With pywin32 or comtypes I remember some very tricky situations with the data types in CATIA. This module tries to solve these issues by utilizing VBA under the hood. An interesting approach! Paul still classifies the module as alpha. But the likes on Github show the right direction. Good luck Paul. Posted on 19/04/2019 Working with ByRef arrays in CATIA This is not actually a script, but a solution I’ve found to a huge roadblock I encountered while trying to use Python to automate CATIA V5 using win32com AND use all funcionalities exposed to automation. We all know it’s very easy to get started by just using late-binding (dynamic dispatch) and the more advanced users will already know that it will be not possible to use Subs that need Byref arrays. Developers of win32com related stuff are aware of the problem but not to the fact that in some applications these kind of Sub are very intensively used i.e. all subs to get triplets such as GetCoordinates of any class derived from the Point class, or GetFirstAxis of any class derived from the Plane class. Developers state that it’s sufficient to switch to early bindig using makepy to solve the problem but in my case for CATIA V5 R19 it didn’t solve the problem at all, it even added more problems.

Yesterday Paul sent me a mail and mentioned, that he has created a Python Library, which packs a few of the COM magics into a Python library with some basic functions. It covers things like, traversing assembly structures, context manager, convert files, find elements in a part, etc. Continue reading Python library for Dassault Systemes CATIA” Posted on 12/03/2017 PathCapture – context menu entry to copy a file path to the Windows clipboard I use this script for years and I`m very happy with it. Simply select a file or directory in Windows Explorer and copy it`s path to the clipboard directly from the context menu. To install it, run a command shell as admin and call the script without an argument. After that it is installed and can be used from the context menu. Posted on 03/03/2017 How to run a Python Script as a Windows Service Grig Gheorghiu wrote on blogspot.com a howto for installing Python Scripts as Windows Services. It uses instsrv.exe and srvany.exe from the Win2K Ressource Kit. Posted on 03/03/2017 Use Win32 Registry like a Python dictionary The class I found on Activestate wraps most of the win32api functions for accessing a registry. It will read and write all win32 registry types, and will de/serialize python objects to registry keys when a string or integer representation is not possible: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/551761 Posted on 25/02/2017 Windows Service with Python I used this script to run a conversion service with Python on Windows. I stripped it down, so that others can use it for their needs. Install the script from the windows shell: python WindowsService.py install And start it by: python WindowsService.py start Continue reading Windows Service with Python” Posted on 12/02/2017 SendKey via AutoIT Interface As AutoIT has been specifically created to deeply interact with Windows, I would recommend considering the interface to AutoIT whenever sphisticated control of Windows internals is required. Example: Sending keystrokes. AutoIT can do that in an exhaustive way, and the interface between Python and AutoIT is VERY simple and elegant. I cannot think of any keystroke, that cannot be sent with AutoIT. See example below. In addition, AutoIT is free and of relatively small size (18 MB). from win32com.client import Dispatch au = Dispatch("AutoItX3.Control") # Access to AutoIT ... # this sends "right, right, shift+right" au.Send("{RIGHT}{RIGHT}+{RIGHT}") txta = str.format("+{0}{1}{2}","{DOWN ",number,"}") # this sends "shift+down" a ’number’ of times au.Send(txta) Posted on 10/02/2017 Events in Autodesk Inventor How to listen and respond to Inventor events in Python using win32com (from http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Inventor/enu/Community/Third_Party_Tools/the_python_page/Listening_to_Events). This example assumes you have succefully been able to connect to Inventor’s COM object If you have not, please do that first. # used to listen to the application events and also the events for a custom button import ctypes import win32com.client from win32com.client.gencache import EnsureDispatch import pythoncom class Events(): def __init__(self, oApp): global Application Application = oApp #Application Events class IVEvent(): def OnQuit(self, BeforeOrAfter, Context, HandlingCode): print("Quiting...") ctypes.windll.user32.PostQuitMessage(0) Application.Quit() #Custom Button Events class BEvent(): def OnExecute(self, Context): print "Dxf Button Clicked" class DoylePlugin(): oApp=EnsureDispatch("Inventor.Application") oApp.Visible=True DxfButton=oApp.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.AddButtonDefinition("Dxf Update", "dxf", 4) DxfButton.AutoAddToGUI() Events = Events(oApp) AppEvents=win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents(oApp.ApplicationEvents, Events.IVEvent) DxfEvents=win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents(DxfButton, Events.BEvent) pythoncom.PumpMessages() Posted on 10/02/2017 Simple VBA like MessageBox in Python Some days ago I found a very easy pythonic way to show a VBA-like MessageBox. It was created with only one line of cpython code. The code is very very easy. Simply change the last integer parameter to change the style of the message box. import ctypes msgbox = ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxA ret = msgbox(None, ’Press OK to end the demo.’, ’Deviare Python Demo’, 0) print ret Posts navigation Page 1 Page 2 … Page 11 Next page Search for: Search Submit a script easily by copy & paste… Ads Php vs Python Recent Comments Tanish Jain on Send email with Outlook and Python MaNu2 on Send email with Outlook and Python zort125 on Controlling applications via sendkeys How to run script with elevated privilege on windows - Design Corral on Controlling applications via sendkeys Prashanth N on Send email with Outlook and Python Disclaimer / Privacy Policy Privacy Policy Proudly powered by WordPress Diese Website benutzt Cookies.
