pyinex's Issues

Get an error message when trying to install the add-on

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Move the xll file to the Addons folder for MS Office (C:\Program 
Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\ADDINS)
2. Add new Addon to Excel using normal procedure (Excel circle button/Excel 
options/Add-Ins/Manage: Excel Add-ins [Go]/Check Pyinex082-Py25-Vc90-Mt/[OK]
3. Close Excel
4. Re-open Excel

What is the expected output?  I expected to see a blank Excel spreadsheet
What do you see instead? A dialog box saying:

=====
Microsoft Office Excel
----------------------
{Exclamation point}The file you are trying to open, 
'Pyinex082-py25-vc90-mt.xll', is in a different format than specified by the 
file extension.  Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted 
source before opening the file.  Do you want to open the file now?
[Yes] [No] [Help]
=====

I can click [Yes],[No],[Help]

If I click yes, I can see some relative gibberish on the screen.  If I click 
no, a plain Excel spreadsheet opens.  Help explains what 'different format than 
file extension' means.

I expect to see the example spreadsheets, instead, I see this: dialog box.

If I load an example spreadsheet, it loads.  I can change the location of the 
python example file, but the spreadsheet doesn't work (I assume because the 
add-on is not really loaded).

What version of the product are you using? 
Pyinex082-py25-vc90-mt.xll

On what operating system?
Windows XP
Office 12 (Excel 2007)
Python 2.5.4 at c:\Program Files\Python
python25.dll at c:\Program Files\Python


Please provide any additional information below.
Other than this, Excel works as expected.  Other than this, python works as 
expected.

I was very excited at the thought of being able to use Python instead of VBA  I 
hope this is a simple fix.

.xll file and .py file can't be loaded when the folder contained Chinese characters

.xll file and .py file can't be loaded when the folder contained Chinese
characters(the default encoding of windows(Chinese version) is cp936
(sys.stdin.encoding)). 

console stdout:

Couldn't get python module D:\Project\ject\oject\ct\ample 
(.\ModuleCache.cpp:Ge
tPyModuleAndFunctionObjects:351)


CreateFile on D:\Project\oject\ct\ample failed: 
系统找不到指定的路径。  
(.\Modu
leCache.cpp:`anonymous-namespace'::ModuleCache::GetModule:115)


I have tested on Chinese version of Windows XP sp3 and Windows 7.

Not an issue - just a question

Looks great so far.  One of the nice things about VBA is that it is easy to 
get some user input along the way through things like:
SS = InputBox("Enter the Social Security Number:", "Get person", "")

Is there a simple way of doing this within a Python script?  

ss=raw_input("Enter the social") does not work, and would in any case be a 
bit console-y if  you know what I mean.

Of course I would 100 times rather write in Python than VBA, but it would 
be nice if there were a way around this.  Perhaps I just have to do the 
wxpython or Tkinter thing, assuming this works from pyinex.

Kind regards

XlfMutex is very slow

Creating XlfMutex takes a lot because new mutex object created each time.
Instead you need additional lock class to call Wait/Release on same mutex 
object.

Requesting 2.7 build

Hello,

THANK YOU! This is incredibly amazing. I can't wait to try it out with some of 
the complex spreadsheets I deal with on a daily basis.

However, I have no clue as far as building this project from source as I've 
never used Visual Studio. Is there any chance you could throw us a bone and 
release a 2.7 version as well? There are some nice features in this Python 
version that would be nice to work with. More importantly, a 2.7 release would 
let users like me skip the process of switching the PATH variable before 
loading the tool.

Thank you again for your incredible app.


Cheers,
AT
