PyWin32 218.0 Mark Hammond Ethan Brown

Python for Windows Extensions adds a number of extensions allowing interaction with Win32 APIs and COM. This package should work for Python 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4

Added optional argument to override rawType default in GetMapiTypeName. (Nick Czeczulin) * Fix the count of replaced terms in Pythonwin's search/replace (rupole). * Fix obscure issues in the Pythonwin code browser and other uses of the "hierlist" widget (rupole). * Fix a crash using a COM "record" that holds an array (rupole). * Fix error return in win32gui.GetClassName (rupole). * Some misc fixed to win32timezone (Jason R. Coombs). * Some fixes to win32com gencache for Python 3.x (Tim Golden) * Fix ActiveScript exception hresults. * RegQueryValueEx now return an empty list for blank REG_MULTI_SZ (rupole via bug #3531456) * Add win32pdh.AddEnglishCounter (rupole via feature request #3529527) * Fix post_install script use of the registry (rupole via bug #3536122) * Python 3.3 version is built with VS2010. * win32com.shell - added function SHCreateStreamOnFileEx and interfaces IShellItem2, IEnumShellItems, IApplicationDocumentLists, IApplicationDestinations, ITaskbarList, IEnumObjects, IKnownFolder, IKnownFolderManager, IObjectArray, IObjectCollection, ICustomDestinationList, and IShellLibrary; enhance SHAddToRecentDocs. * win32com.propsys - Many Property System interfaces and functions added * pythoncom - added StgCreateStorageEx * win32com.client - Fix iteration of objects that don't declare an enumerator in their typelib Validate syntax of constants written to makepy generated files * win32file - Add GetFileInformationByHandleEx, ReOpenFile and OpenFileById, SetFileInformationByHandle. SetFileTime() has an extra param to allow UTC time to be specified. * win32api - Allow UpdateResource to remove a resource Since build 216: ---------------- * ISAPI extension works with Python 3.x * Python service module will now have their directory added to the start of sys.path rather than the end to avoid cryptic error messages if a module of the same name is already on the path (rvolpe via #3194663) * Various Pythonwin autocomplete enhancements (kxroberto via #3468282 and Oliver Tengler via #3433953) * The Pythonwin editor now remembers previous searches made in this session. (patch #3468280 from kxroberto). * The LOGFONT struct implementation (win32util) was extended to support the full LOGFONT struct as published by Microsoft. This includes changes to win32util.LogFontToDict and win32util.DictToLogFont. (Feature request 3433757 by Kris Hardy) * Remove some duplicated menu code from pythonwin which should avoid having py2exe pulling in most of the pythonwin framework in some cases (patch 3433527 from kxroberto.) * A new win32com.client.VARIANT object can be used for advanced control over the parameter types passed to some COM methods. See the documentation in win32com/HTML/variant.html (also included in the help file) * The win32com.adsi and win32com.mapi packages have been upgraded to work on Python 3.x and as a result, there is a slight risk that regressions to these packages have been introduced in the Python 2.x versions. Please file a bug if any problems are found. * Pythonwin now warns, but allows you to continue, when saving a file with an invalid encoding line (bug 3139486) * Fix win32com.client.WithEvents on py3k (bug 3199843) * When passing integers/unsigned integers to COM objects which did not fit into 32bits, OverflowErrors were silently discarded and -1 was silently passed. This has been fixed for signed integers (an OverflowError is now raised) and unsigned integers now allow for values with the high-bit set to be passed correctly. * Fix win32com.client.WithEvents() on py3k. * makepy may have generated syntax errors if 'helpstring' elements in typelibs had strange quoting or slashes (bug 3199631) * Fixed that in some cases win32file.GetOpenFileName and GetSaveFileName could have returned trailing garbage after an embedded NULL character. (bug 3277647) * Some functions which accepted a DWORD did not accept long integers which fit in 32bits with the most signficant bit set (eg, 0x80000000). * Source-code management moved from CVS to Mercurual. * win32com.shell - Added SHCreateShellItem and fixed some 64bit issues. * win32evtlog - Added some of the new event log functions introduced in Vista/Windows 7 * win32service - Added EnumServicesStatusEx, and support startup type "delayed" for Python services * win32net - Fix a problem with NetFileEnum on 64-bit (bug #3376041)
