Hello,

I have just installed SPSS 16 and Python 2.5 with several modules and
plug-ins.

I have then tried this very interesting piece of code (slightly adapted from
Jon Peck's Programmability slides I have downloaded from HYPERLINK
"http://www.spss.com/devcentral/"www.spss.com/devcentral/):

GET FILE "C:\Programmi\SPSSInc\SPSS16\Samples\Employee data.sav".
BEGIN PROGRAM.
import spss, tables
cmd=r"""CTABLES /TABLE JOBCAT BY GENDER
                 /TITLES TITLE='JOB CATEGORY BY GENDER'
                /COMPARETEST TYPE=PROP"""
tables.mergeLatest(cmd, autofit=False)
END PROGRAM.

Unfortunately I get the following error:

This module requires pythoncom and win32com.client modules, which can be
downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/  Be sure to get the
Python 2.4 version.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
  File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\tables.py", line 130, in <module>
    import spss, viewer, sys
  File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\viewer.py", line 47, in <module>
    import pythoncom, win32com.client
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythoncom.py", line 2, in <module>
    import pywintypes
  File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\pywintypes.py", line 102, in <module>
    __import_pywin32_system_module__("pywintypes", globals())
  File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\pywintypes.py", line 64, in
__import_pywin32_system_module__
    import _win32sysloader
ImportError: No module named _win32sysloader

Please notice that I have uploaded the python client modules, and it looks
like the more module I add the more there are other modules needed...

Can anyone assist me on this one?

Thanks,

Luca
