如何使用 python win32com 或 comtypes 中的 COM 访问 IRTDServer？

Question

环境

Windows 10 + python 3.6.3 64 位（也尝试过 32 位）。我是一名 Python 开发人员，（几乎）第一次尝试使用 COM，但遇到了这个巨大的障碍。

问题

当我尝试使用在 dll 中实现的 IRTDServer（不是我编写的）时，通过 或 ，我遇到了各种win32com错误comtypes。使用结果win32com变得更加困难。我为下面的两个库提供了一个示例单元测试。

从 Excel 2016 访问服务器按预期工作；这将返回预期值：

=RTD("foo.bar", , "STAT1", "METRIC1")

---

使用 win32com 库的代码

这是一个简单的测试用例，应该连接到服务器，但没有连接到服务器。（这只是一个版本，因为我已经多次更改它来尝试调试问题。）

from unittest import TestCase

class COMtest(TestCase):
    def test_win32com(self):
        import win32com.client
        from win32com.server.util import wrap

        class RTDclient:
            # are these only required when implementing the server?
            _com_interfaces_ = ["IRTDUpdateEvent"]
            _public_methods_ = ["Disconnect", "UpdateNotify"]
            _public_attrs_ = ["HeartbeatInterval"]

            def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
                self._comObj = win32com.client.Dispatch(*args, **kwargs)
            def connect(self):
                self._rtd = win32com.client.CastTo(self._comObj, 'IRtdServer')
                result = self._rtd.ServerStart(wrap(self))
                assert result > 0

            def UpdateNotify(self):
                print("UpdateNotify() callback")
            def Disconnect(self):
                print("Disconnect() called")
            HeartbeatInterval = -1

_rtd = RTDclient("foo.bar")
_rtd.connect()

结果：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "env\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line 532, in EnsureDispatch
    ti = disp._oleobj_.GetTypeInfo()
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147467263, 'Not implemented', None, None)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test\test.py", line 23, in test_win32com
    _rtd.connect()
  File "test\test.py", line 16, in connect
    self._rtd = win32com.client.CastTo(dispatch, 'IRtdServer')
  File "env\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 134, in CastTo
    ob = gencache.EnsureDispatch(ob)
  File "env\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line 543, in EnsureDispatch
    raise TypeError("This COM object can not automate the makepy process - please run makepy manually for this object")
TypeError: This COM object can not automate the makepy process - please run makepy manually for this object

按照这些指示，我makepy成功运行了脚本：

> env\Scripts\python.exe env\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py "foo.bar"
Generating to C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Temp\gen_py\3.5\longuuid1x0x1x0.py
Building definitions from type library...
Generating...
Importing module

（出于隐私考虑，我替换了 stackoverflow 上的 UUID。此 UUID 与“foo.bar”的 typelib UUID 相同。）

IRtdServer生成的文件包含和的各种函数和类型定义IRTDUpdateEvent。但在这个文件中，两个接口都是 的子类win32com.client.DispatchBaseClass，而根据 OleViewDotNet，它们应该是IUnknown?的子类。

然而，当我尝试再次运行单元测试时，我收到了与之前完全相同的错误。好像查找机制没有找到生成的模块？

另外，GetTypeInfo回来Not implemented也让我感到震惊。根据我的理解，win32com 使用该方法（IDispatchCOM 接口的一部分）来确定其他接口中所有其他函数的参数和返回类型，包括IRtdServer. 如果不实现，将无法正确确定类型。然而，生成的文件似乎包含这些信息，这也令人困惑。

使用 comtypes 库的代码

from unittest import TestCase

class COMtest(TestCase):
    def test_comtypes(self):
        import comtypes.client

        class RTDclient:
            # are these for win32com only?
            _com_interfaces_ = ["IRTDUpdateEvent"]
            _public_methods_ = ["Disconnect", "UpdateNotify"]
            _public_attrs_ = ["HeartbeatInterval"]

            def __init__(self, clsid):
                self._comObj = comtypes.client.CreateObject(clsid)
            def connect(self):
                self._rtd = self._comObj.IRtdServer()
                result = self._rtd.ServerStart(self)
                assert result > 0

            def UpdateNotify(self):
                print("UpdateNotify() callback")
            def Disconnect(self):
                print("Disconnect() called")
            HeartbeatInterval = -1

_rtd = RTDclient("foo.bar")
_rtd.connect()

结果：

  File "test\test.py", line 27, in test_comtypes
    _rtd.connect()
  File "test\test.py", line 16, in connect
    self._rtd = self._comObj.IRTDServer()
  File "env\lib\site-packages\comtypes\client\dynamic.py", line 110, in __getattr__
    dispid = self._comobj.GetIDsOfNames(name)[0]
  File "env\lib\site-packages\comtypes\automation.py", line 708, in GetIDsOfNames
    self.__com_GetIDsOfNames(riid_null, arr, len(names), lcid, ids)
_ctypes.COMError: (-2147352570, 'Unknown name.', (None, None, None, 0, None))

我尝试过的其他一些解决方案

（基于谷歌搜索和下面评论中的答案）

• （重新）注册 DLL
• 注册了 DLL 的 32 位版本并尝试了 python 32 位
• 设置兼容模式为python.exeWindows XP SP3

• 尝试不实例化 IRtdServer，即替换这两行：

  self._rtd = self._comObj.IRtdServer()
  result = self._rtd.ServerStart(self)
  

  和：

  result = self._comObj.ServerStart(self)
  

  这次的错误是：

  TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
  

  这似乎表明该ServerStart函数存在，但未定义？（看起来真的很奇怪。这个谜一定还有更多。）

• 尝试将interface="IRtdServer"参数传递给CreateObject：

  def __init__(self, clsid):
      self._comObj = comtypes.client.CreateObject(clsid, interface="IRtdServer")
  def connect(self):
      result = self._comObj.ServerStart(self)
      ...
  

  收到的错误是：

    File "test\test.py", line 13, in __init__
      self._comObj = comtypes.client.CreateObject(clsid, interface="IRtdServer")
    File "env\lib\site-packages\comtypes\client\__init__.py", line 238, in CreateObject
      obj = comtypes.CoCreateInstance(clsid, clsctx=clsctx, interface=interface)
    File "env\lib\site-packages\comtypes\__init__.py", line 1223, in CoCreateInstance
      p = POINTER(interface)()
  TypeError: Cannot create instance: has no _type_
  

  跟踪comtypes库中的代码，这似乎表明接口参数需要一个接口类，而不是一个字符串。我发现comtypes库中定义了各种接口：IDispatch、IPersist、IServiceProvider。都是 的子类IUnknown。根据 OleViewDotNet，IRtdServer它也是IUnknown. 这让我相信我需要在 python 中类似地编写一个 IRtdServer 类才能使用该接口，但我不知道该怎么做。

• 我注意到了dynamic的参数CreateObject。代码表明这与interface参数是互斥的，所以我尝试了：

  def __init__(self, clsid):
      self._comObj = comtypes.client.CreateObject(clsid, dynamic=True)
  def connect(self):
      self._rtd = self._comObj.IRtdServer()
      result = self._rtd.ServerStart(self)
  

  但错误与我原来的错误相同：IRtdServer有_ctypes.COMError: (-2147352570, 'Unknown name.', (None, None, None, 0, None))

任何帮助或线索将不胜感激。先感谢您。

Answer 1

我遇到了同样的问题。

我还尝试使用 win32com 让 excel 运行，说实话，这有点不稳定......我什至无法碰我的 Excel。

因此我花了一些时间研究这个问题。问题出在 CastTo 上。认为您（和我）加载的 COM 对象不包含足够的信息来进行转换（某些方法如 GetTypeInfo 未实现等...）

因此，我创建了一个包装器，使这些 COM 对象的方法可调用……这并不明显。这似乎对我有用。

客户端代码是从一个名为 Pyrtd 的项目修改而来的，该项目由于各种原因而无法工作（认为是由于 RTD 模型的更改......RefreshData 的返回现在完全不同）。
