[errorCode -2147221020] python scripts connect Sap

former_member779127 — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 12:46:01 GMT

Hi, i am using python to operate SAP.

import win32com.client
SapGuiAuto = win32com.client.GetObject("SAPGUI")  # This line happened Error.
application = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine

The code can be executed successfully on my computer. But occasionally it fails on my friend’s computer.

Error on the second line and Error message is : com_error : (-2147221020， "Invalid syntax"， None， None).

I am puzzled. The computer environment of my friend and I are similar. (win10 , SAP740 Python3). Can you give me some suggestions. Any possible reply would be greatly appreciated 🙂

If my problem description is very simple, I am sorry.

But i have found the reason. The start permissions of SAP and python are different, resulting in an error. They should have the same authority, such as administrator authority or standard user authority.

But I found the reason: the startup permissions of sap and python are not the same.

For example, both of these should be run with administrator rights, or run with ordinary user rights.
