NameError error

I have the code like this:

import comtypes 
from comtypes import * 
from comtypes.client import * 

comtypes.client.GetModule('UIAutomationCore.dll') 
from comtypes.gen.UIAutomationClient import * 

uia = CreateObject(CUIAutomation._reg_clsid_, interface=IUIAutomation) 

from pywinauto.application import Application

app = Application(backend="uia").start("notepad.exe")
app.UntitledNotepad.type_keys("%FX")

when I run it with Python 3.8.7（comtypes version 1.1.12） , it appears to show me the error, I don't know how to fix it:

me too pthon 2.7.18 comtypes 1.1.12

Reverting to comtypes 1.1.11 fixes for me

[junkmd]

Provably, module under comtypes/gen/... generated by comtypes/tools/codegenerator.py has not imported c_int from ctypes.

Python 3.9.1 comtypes 1.1.12

[junkmd]

is if tlib_mtime is not None: in comtypes/tools/codegenerator.py correct?

[vasily-v-ryabov]

Thank you guys! I've removed 1.1.12 from PyPI for now. Next release will be 1.1.13 with the right fix. Sorry for breaking everything.

I have a similar issue but with c_float

comtypes\gen\_00020430_0000_0000_C000_000000000046_0_2_0.py", line 18, in <module>
    OLE_XPOS_CONTAINER = c_float
NameError: name 'c_float' is not defined

The broken part is provably below. https://github.com/enthought/comtypes/blob/0094a55ae3d80fc115b51ace9ae274263ac570e9/comtypes/tools/codegenerator.py#L329-L335

"import part" in generated module is made out of self.imports dict iteration. https://github.com/enthought/comtypes/blob/0094a55ae3d80fc115b51ace9ae274263ac570e9/comtypes/tools/codegenerator.py#L296-L302

Thus, self.imports must be completed before the iteration. But self.imports['*'] = 'ctypes' was called after the iteration.

I PRed #287 to fix this error.

@zboolk 1.1.13 (and more further version) that resolves this issue is out. Please try.

Works for me now in the new 1.1.13 and 1.1.14.
