Import Type Library doesn't work - SOLVED -

[ufechner]

Hello,

I tried to import the EA type library in Borland Delphi 6.0 and in python.

The EA type library is not shown.

I did:

ea.exe /register (just to be sure)

Delphi -> Projekt -> import type library

Nothing there (well, many other type libraries, but not EA).

I tried with python:

python C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py

Many typelibraries are displayed, not EA.

Any idea?

Thanks:

Maybe it's not EA but some obscure DLL?

I'm not sure about Delphi, but Python can be sensitive to the Path system variable. Check that after you did the makepy, you put the resulting file in the Python path.

What about EA.tlb?

Well, I finally found a solution:

c:
cd \Programme\Sparx Systems\EA
copy EA.tlb C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client
cd \Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client
python makepy.py EA.tlb

For delphi, just open the file EA.tlb. The type library editor opens it and generates the according .pas file.
