windowserror

I have an application that is hosting some unstable third-party code which I can't control in an external process to protect my main application from nasty errors it exhibits. My parent process is monitoring the other process and doing "the right thing (tm)" when it fails. The problem that I have is that Dr. Watson is still detecting crashes in the isolated process and attaching to the processes on the way down to take a crash dump. This has the two problems of: 1. Dramatically slowing down the time that it takes for me to detect a failure because the process stays alive while the crash dump

I am trying to verify emails by sending requests to SMTP servers. When I test in Linux, it works for 90% of emails. When I test in Windows, I did some analysis and like for 79% of emails will show the WinError10060 problem. I tried using VPN, proxies and even turning off the firewall but the same problem will appear: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond Could this be from the firewall in the router or the internet provider blocking

It's a trouble when Python raised a WindowsError, the encoding of message of the exception is always os-native-encoded. For example: import os os.remove('does_not_exist.file') Well, here we get an exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> WindowsError: [Error 2] 系統找不到指定的檔案。: 'does_not_exist.file' As the language of my Windows7 is Traditional Chinese, the default error message I get is in big5 encoding (as know as CP950). >>> try: ... os.remove('abc.file') ... except WindowsError, value: ... print value.args ... (2, '\xa8t\xb2\xce\xa7\xe4\xa4\xa3\xa8\xec

simply my code is as follows: file = 'C:\\Exe\\First Version\\filename.exe' os.system(file) when I run this program, windowserror is raised, can't find the file specified. I found out the problem has to with the whitespace between "First Version". So Could I find a way circumventing the problem? PS: what if the variable 'file' will be passed as arg into another func? Putting quotes around the path will work: file = 'C:\\Exe\\First Version\\filename.exe' os.system('"' + file + '"') but a better solution is to use the subprocess module instead: import subprocess file = 'C:\\Exe\\First Version\

I created the MathFuncsDll.dll from MSDN DLL example and running the calling .cpp worked fine. Now, trying to load this in IPython with ctypes like import ctypes lib = ctypes.WinDLL('MathFuncsDll.dll') being in the correct folder yields UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 28: ordinal not in range(128) Similarly in Python shell this yields WindowsError: [Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application What should I change? Hm, it might be Win 7 64bit vs. some 32bit dll or something right? I'll check later when I've time again. ctypes doesn't work with C++, which

I'm working on a test case for which I create some subdirs. However, I don't seem to have the permission to remove them anymore. My UA is an Administrator account (Windows XP). I first tried: folder="c:/temp/" for dir in os.listdir(folder): os.remove(folder+dir) and then folder="c:/temp/" os.remove(folder+"New Folder") because I'm sure "New Folder" is empty. However, in all cases I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 3, in <module> WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: 'c:/temp/New Folder' Does anybody know what's going wrong? os.remove requires a file path , and
