Object has no attribute 'parent'

[Hyperrick]

I am currently working on a Python script that saves screenshots from an Excel file using the excel2image module.

My code is pretty easy:

import excel2img excel2img.export_img(Workpath + "/" + "CB_TEMP.xlsx", "alarm_BB1.png", "Deckblatt", "A2:C20")

Unfortunately I always get the following error message:

`Unfortunately I always get the following error message:

475

AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Excel 16.0 Object Library.Range instance at 0x2460934736048>' object has no attribute 'parent'`

I have already tried several workarounds but I can't get it to work. Sometimes it works like magic, but mostly only after a reboot and deleting the data in C:/Users/patrick/AppData/Temp/gen_py.

I have a feeling something is clashing in the code with the win32com module I use in a function before to convert an XLSB file to an XLSX file:

def ConvertExcel(excel_filepath, Workpath): excel = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application') xlsb_doc = excel.Workbooks.Open(os.path.abspath(excel_filepath)) excel_sheets = os.path.abspath(Workpath) + "\\CB_TEMP.xlsx" xlsb_doc.SaveAs(excel_sheets, 51) xlsb_doc.Close() excel.Quit() del excel return excel_sheets

Kind regards,
Patrick

Hey Patrick,

Feel free to try using my fork here. It turns out the parent attribute changed for parent to Parent, so this was a simple one-line fix.
