Bug #: 30420
           Summary: pyjamas desktop (python26 + python-comtypes MSHTML.DLL
                    from IE8) fails due to unsupported ReadTypeLib header
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.37
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

amazingly, IE8 works.  python26 works.  python-comtypes barfs for the sole
reason that (as can be seen below) LoadTypeLibEx fails.

what python-comtypes does is find the dll, extract its typelibrary and
auto-generates python code which caches all the COM functions.

an strace shows that atl.dll is correctly being located, but the fact
that the function fails makes it impossible to proceed.

however - and this is the absolutely amazing bit - if i comment out the line of
python code (line 39 below), GetModule('atl.dll'), then ALL OTHER GetModule
CALLS WORK!

this is just absolutely stunning.  pyjamas-desktop - a highly sophisticated
application that relies heavily on python COM bindings to MSHTML.DLL, actually
bloody well works.

the only other thing i spotted was that in the conversion process, one of the
GetModule calls threw these errors:

fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnGetRefTypeInfo Can't find pRefType for ref 3e8
fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnGetRefTypeInfo Can't find pRefType for ref 3e8
fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnGetRefTypeInfo Can't find pRefType for ref 10b30
fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnGetRefTypeInfo Can't find pRefType for ref 1142c
fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnGetRefTypeInfo Can't find pRefType for ref 3e8

other than that, this is a staggeringly-impressive result.

--- Comment #1 from Austin English  ---
Instruction on how to reproduce this would help. I tried:

$ winetricks -q python26 python26_comtypes
$ unzip -d ~/.wine/drive_c pyjs-pyjs-0.8.1a-0-g8c7cbc5.zip
$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/pyjs-pyjs-07f54ad/
$ wine "C:\Python26\python.exe" bootstrap.py 
$ cd examples/helloworld
$ wine "C:\Python26\python.exe" Hello.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Hello.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pyjd # this is dummy in pyjs.
ImportError: No module named pyjd
fixme:msvcrt:__clean_type_info_names_internal (0x1e1f9bc8) stub

using pyjs from http://pyjs.org/Download.html

Apparently this makes sense, cause atl.dll is supposed to host a typelib. I'll
take a look.
