ImportError: Typelib different than module

[gesslerpd]

I'm using comtypes==1.1.10 indirectly via use of wxPython and recently am getting an ImportError that doesn't occur in comtypes<=1.1.8. Any help or guidance is appreciated!

OS: Windows 10
Traceback:

Can you try this branch?

pip uninstall -y comtypes
pip install https://github.com/vasily-v-ryabov/comtypes/archive/refs/heads/mtime_none.zip

You will need to clear local comtypes cache using script in C:\path-to-python\Scripts\

Thanks for your response, this fix solves the issue! The cached files generated now don't cause the mentioned Typelib error.

Please re-open this issue --- as per #237 there are still problems it would appear. Also, the fix (if it is) never made into the pypi channel as version 1.1.11. I'm going through the code myself now to see whether I can puzzle this out.
