ImportError: cannot import name COMError in python
15,684
Unfortunately COMTypes is designed for Windows, not Linux.
comtypes allows to define, call, and implement custom and dispatch-based COM interfaces in pure Python. It works on Windows, 64-bit Windows, and Windows CE.
You'll need to find another way to do your conversion, likely through another library.

I am trying to convert docx file to pdf with following code
import sys import os import comtypes.client wdFormatPDF = 17 in_file = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[1]) out_file = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[2]) word = comtypes.client.CreateObject('Word.Application') doc = word.Documents.Open(in_file) doc.SaveAs(out_file, FileFormat=wdFormatPDF) doc.Close() word.Quit()
It is throwing an error
ImportError: cannot import name COMError
I have installed comtypes package.
I am very new to python, I can not figure out how to resolve this problem.
[Edit]
Stacktrace
Traceback (most recent call last): File "converttopdf.py", line 3, in <module> import comtypes.client File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/comtypes-1.1.2-py2.7.egg/comtypes/__init__.py", line 23, in <module> from _ctypes import COMError ImportError: cannot import name COMError
