AttributeError: module 'comtypes.gen.Word' has no attribute '_Application'

`import sys import os import comtypes.client import pythoncom import uuid import requests from docx import Document import base64 from os import listdir from os.path import isfile, join import azure.functions as func

def main(req: func.HttpRequest) -> func.HttpResponse:

bytesDoc = req.get_json().get('base')

    )

` This code is having the error above. Any idea? I'm running the python function on an env. It creates the docx file, but no conversion is done.

@Estevete @maria-matviychuk @snoopyjc @pauldamian

In the version around the time this issue was posted, each module(file) in comtypes/gen was often generated halfway through. So modules without definitions of the objects you wanted to use were created, then errors occurred when importing.

#300 made it fewer that partial files(modules) being generated.

Due to no recent activity, I will close this issue. If the issue remains, please re-open.
