Execution is failing with AttributeError: module 'ctypes' has no attribute 'windll'

[0CM]

Hi Brian,

I am trying to run CLI version of your tools, but it is failing with the following error:

File "/home/ubuntu/tools/OneDriveExplorer/OneDriveExplorer/OneDriveExplorer.py", line 39, in
from ode.parsers.odl import parse_odl, load_cparser
File "/home/ubuntu/tools/OneDriveExplorer/OneDriveExplorer/ode/parsers/odl.py", line 45, in
kernel32 = ctypes.windll.kernel32
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'ctypes' has no attribute 'windll'

I additionally I installed pywin32-ctypes (0.2.2) via pip, but it did not helped.

Could you please suggest how to fix it ?

Also would you considered adding pyproject-toml, so it is possible to deploy your project directly with PIP ?

Thank you

OneDriveExplorer only works on Windows. The CLI version will probably work. You can comment out lines 45 and 46 in odl.py. Let me know if this works and I can put in a fix for the CLI. The GUI would take more effort to make it cross platform.

OneDriveExplorer/OneDriveExplorer/ode/parsers/odl.py

Line 45 in 925e5b5

kernel32 = ctypes.windll.kernel32

OneDriveExplorer/OneDriveExplorer/ode/parsers/odl.py

Line 46 in 925e5b5

kernel32.SetConsoleMode(kernel32.GetStdHandle(-11), 7)

Hi Brian,

the cli script now start, but it does not parse the .dat file. I tested the file in the compiled Windows version and it worked fine. 535086f03efc0fb2.dat.zip

Second issue I had was that what what ever reason I was not able to get autocomplete on the filename, had to put it into the cli manually. Other scripts in that virtenv works fine.

And one more SyntaxWarning for deprecated escaping syntax. This is probably related to changes in Python 3.12
https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.12.html#other-language-changes

python3 OneDriveExplorer.py -f ./535086f03efc0fb2.dat --debug

Thank you for your time

Not sure what would cause the autocomplete issue (has nothing to do with the program). The other thing that comes to mind would be to check the line endings of the files. It was written on Windows so the line endings may be \r\n.

Regards the autocomplete, it is affected by the short -f switch, as you can se bellow it
only show .py files and folders

python3 OneDriveExplorer.py -f
Images/ OneDriveExplorer.py OneDriveExplorer_GUI.py ode/
cstructs/

Long switch --file will work fine and will show all the files .txt and .dat included.
No idea what is the root case, my bet is something with the Python vir env, but since Ubuntu
does not allow installing pip packages system wide, this may come up more often.

python3 OneDriveExplorer.py --file
535086f03efc0fb2.dat build.spec ode/ requirements.txt
Images/ OneDriveExplorer.py OneDriveExplorer_GUI.py cstructs/

For the rest I check the end lines, and converted the script to LF, but it had no effect.

I saw you using this to parse out filename and path:
account = os.path.dirname(args.file.replace('/', '\')).rsplit('\', 1)[-1]
name = os.path.split(args.file)[1]

I refactor it to more OS agnostic way.
normalized_path = os.path.normpath(args.file)
accountn = os.path.basename(os.path.dirname(normalized_path))
namen = os.path.basename(normalized_path)

When executed your account variable is empty, the normalized_path account path has value DATA.
But DataFrame is not loading any data either way.

python3 OneDriveExplorer.py --file $HOME/DATA/535086f03efc0fb2.dat

args.file'/home/ubuntu/DATA/535086f03efc0fb2.dat'

I attached code snippet I used for debugging, but I am kind of stuck on this. Any idea what can be the problem ?
