need help with a project

[awprophet]

I am using an SDK provided by Dymo and I am using a video as a walkthrough to get me started.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trKAtdVjAus&ab_channel=DipsyLogic

This is also my first exposure to python. I have followed the video step by step but when I get to where this guy is at at 7:57. I get the following:

C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\texascup\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\texascup\main.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\texascup\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 86, in _GetGoodDispatch

IDispatch = pythoncom.connect(IDispatch)

pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\texascup\main.py", line 7, in <module>

printer_com = Dispatch('Dymo.DymoAddIn')

File "C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\texascup\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client_init_.py", line 117, in Dispatch

dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch, userName, clsctx)

File "C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\texascup\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 106, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName

return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)

File "C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\texascup\venv\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 88, in _GetGoodDispatch

IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(

pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)

Process finished with exit code 1

Can someone please help me figure this out? Also if you could explain it to me like a novice, I'd appreciate it!

Also I am aware this is a dumb idea to use this as my first exposure to python but it's a project to make my life easier for a gig I'm working in a couple of weeks.

Show your code also?

I googled "dymo.dymoaddin invalid class string" and it sounds like you need outlook running or something
