Hi,
What I'm trying to do is to get the events which appear in MsWord's toolbar.
Thanks a million,
Radu.

It returns None because the except clause does not trigger
(LoadTypeLibEx succeeds),
and there is no explicit 'return' statement executed.
BTW: instead of adding all the strings with os.sep between them you
should better write
generate_COM_interface(r"c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\OFFICE11\MSO.dll")
or, even more portable, using the 'CommonProgramFiles' environment
variable:
import os
generate_COM_interface(os.path.join(os.environ["CommonProgramFiles"],
r"Microsoft Shared\OFFICE11\MSO.dll"))
But what do you want to achieve?
comtypes.typeinfo.LoadTypeLibEx(fname) returns an ITypeLib pointer
which you probably do not need.
comtypes.client.GetModule(fname) is what you need - it creates the
typelib wrapper
which contains the interface definitions.
The GetModule() call returns the Python module, but it is probably
better to
import it with its short name that GetModule() also creates and prints!
For me, the name seems to be comtypes.gen.Office. So I would write:
# Create the typelib wrapper (if it does not yet exist):
GetModule(os.path.join(os.environ["CommonProgramFiles"], r"Microsoft
Shared\OFFICE11\MSO.dll"))
# Import the typelib wrapper
from comtypes.gen import Office
# Use it
print Office.CommandBars, Office.CommandBarControl
You might have to adjust the above code a bit, I don't have OFFICE11 on
my machine,
only OFFICE10.
