pywintypes hook - file already exists but should not warning

[Grant Paton-Simpson]

Hi Martin,

I am reposting this under a fresh topic so it doesn't get lost.

I can see from https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/commits/develop/PyInstaller/hooks/hook-pywintypes.py that you are the person who has been working on hook-pywintypes this year. Thanks for your work to improve pyinstaller.

What would you advise I do to prevent the following error: "WARNING: file already exists but should not: C:/DOCUMEN~1/GRANTP~1/LOCALS~

1/Temp/_MEI1922\.\pywintypes27.dll" ? Should I revert to the version of hook-pywintypes.py in May 30th?

Or is there a better solution which you are planning to add to the hook?

Sorry for being so persistent - I need the dev version of pyinstaller to work so I can put out a release of my SOFA Statistics application. If you recall, it seems that version 2.0 has been triggering anti-trojan warnings on a couple of virus scanners. Thus my attempt to use the dev version.

All the best,
Grant

Hi Martin,

I have tried the following and it seems to have worked. In hook-pywintypes.py I replaced:

datas = [(get_module_file_attribute('pywintypes'), '.')]

with:

import sys
datas = [(get_module_file_attribute('pywintypes%d%d' % sys.version_info[:2]), '.')]

so hookutils looks for pywintypes27.dll not pywintypes.dll

I got the idea from the earlier version of hook_pywintypes.py. Do you think this a good solution?

All the best,
Grant

Hi all,

got the same issue in here using the actual development revision.
So I used the same fix for hook-pywintypes.py and it worked very well.
So again the question: Will there soon be a better solution about this or should we write a official bug report?

Greetings,
Simon

Could you try remove the following line from hook-pywintypes.py and let
me know if pywintypesXX.dll is still available in your dist dir?

datas = [(get_module_file_attribute('pywintypes'), '.')]

Hi Martin,

In my test-skript I only imported win32com
after removing the line from hook-pywintypes.py, the pywintypes27.dll is still available in mit dist dir.
So the importhook is unnecessary in this case.

But importing only pywintypes27.dll itself, the hook is still needed.

Taking a closer look a the imptracker.py it seems like pywintypes27.dll is put into the dist for multiple times from analyzing win32com, win32.com.client and win32com.server.

Could there be the source of the problem?

Greetings,
Simon
