AutoItX3 is not working in python

[kcvinu]

Hi there, 

I have installed pywin32 in my pc. And i wrote this code

>>> import win32com.client

>>> autoit = win32com.client.Dispatch("AutoItX3.Control")

>>> autoit.Run("calc.exe")

But it is showing this error message.

 

"Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>

    autoit.Run("calc.exe")"

Please help. Complete error message is in an image with this post. Please see attachment

Use AutoIt as intended. NOT in Python.

Seriously Bert?

@kcvinu

Try to use unicode strings:

autoit.Run(u"calc.exe")

You may need the full path though .

Hi 

SmOke_N

Thanks.  Let me try.

I am afraid, most of the AutItX3 functions are not listed in the intellisense of python shell.

@SmOke_N, No way. It's not working.

[SmOke_N]

Are you using pyAutoIt?

Hi 

SmOke_N, i tried that but not installing. First of all there is no exe file for it. We need to manually type code in cmd. It says that it can;t find a directory named pyAutoit. I dropped that idea and started with pywin32.
