I have uploaded an early preview release for comtypes. As you might know, comtypes is a new COM library for Python, based on the ctypes package.
There is not yet any documentation, but I hope that at least some of the unittests provided give an impression how it is supposed to be used. There are also some docstrings in the comtypes/client/__init__.py module, which contains the high level functions to use. Highlights: - access *custom* interfaces easily. This works best if they provide type information - automatic typelib wrapper generation. This even should work in frozen executables. - event support. - comtypes is supposed to provide good support for Limitations: - there is currently *no* server side support. You cannot yet write COM servers in comtypes, although I hope that can follow soon. - custom interfaces work best (IUnkown based or IDispatch based). Pure dispinterface support is somewhat limited (but then there is pywin32, if you need that). Enjoy, Thomas SF project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/comtypes/ Download page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115265 Requires ctypes.0.9.8, which is also available for download at this page. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
