pywintypes.com_error when running notes2mbox.py

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tried to use nlconverter on Windows 2000 (SP4) running a Lotus Notes 7.0.2 
client.

Both GUI and command line doesn't work.

Here is the traceback I get when using the notes2mbox.py script
{{{

All the steps I performed to run notes2mbox.py are detailed in a post on my 
blog:

Well, nlconverter was writter with Lotus R5 in mind, so maybe there is a 
different name to get the authentification session.

You should try an alternative method to connect to the dll (I will try to find 
it in my old documentation).
