pywin32 | Python for Windows Extensions | Data Manipulation library

You are using python 3.10 which does not have a whl file available on PyPi for pywin32==227. Try the installation with a lower python version e.g. 3.9

At the beginning I thought it was a misunderstanding (I was also a bit skeptical about the bug report), mainly because of the following paragraph (which apparently seems to be wrong) from [MS.Docs]: SetJob function (emphasis is mine):

The following members of a JOB_INFO_1, JOB_INFO_2, or JOB_INFO_4 structure are ignored on a call to SetJob: JobId, pPrinterName, pMachineName, pUserName, pDrivername, Size, Submitted, Time, and TotalPages.

But I did some tests and ran into the problem. The problem is as described in the bug: filling JOB_INFO_* string members (which are LPTSTRs) with char* data.

Submitted [GitHub]: mhammond/pywin32 - Fix: win32print.SetJob sending ANSI to UNICODE API (and none of the 2 errors pops up). It was merged to main on 220331.

When testing the fix, I was able to change various properties of an existing job, I was amazed that it didn't have to be valid data (like below), I'm a bit curious to see what would happen when the job would be executed (as now I don't have a connection to a printer):

• Change pUserName to str(random.randint(0, 10000)) to make sure it changes on each script run (PrintScreens taken separately and assembled in Paint):

Ways to go further:

1. Wait for a new PyWin32 version (containing this fix) to be released. This is the recommended approach, but it will also take more time (and it's unclear when it will happen)

2. Get the sources, either:

• from main

• from b303 (last stable branch), and apply the (above) patch⁽¹⁾

  build the module (.pyd) and copy it in the PyWin32's site-packages directory on your Python installation(s). Faster, but it requires some deeper knowledge, and maintenance might become a nightmare

I used pip install eth-brownie and it worked fine, I didnt need to downgrade. Im new to this maybe I could be wrong but it worked fine with me.

According to [MS.Docs]: PatBlt function (wingdi.h), the rectangle is specified in (x, y, w, h) format, meaning the last 2 values are not the lower right corner coordinates, but width and height.

As a consequence, if you translate the x of the upper left corner, by n pixels and w by -n, the lower right x will remain unmodified. To have the 2 xes symmetrical in relation with the center ('s x), you should subtract twice the value:

• Initial:

  • upper_left_x0 = i
  • lower_right_x0 = i + w0

• Move both n towards center:

  • upper_left_x1 = i + n
  • lower_right_x1 = i + w0 - n

So:

Since you're doing

In case thing is Bytes and you expect a double, you could use struct.unpack to convert:

This happens if you are trying to open a file, but your path is a folder.

This can happen easily by mistake.

To defend against that, use:

Consider creating a separate environment, e.g.,

Streamlit share runs the app in a linux environment meaning there is no pywin32 because this is for windows.

Delete the pywin32 from the requirements file and also the pywinpty==1.1.6 for the same reason.

After deleting these requirements re-deploy your app and it will work.
