I am trying to write a VB6 (not VB.Net) application that has a console window that allows Python command to be typed at the prompt.
The idea is so that, I can have full Python scripting from within my application. I should be able to type commands from a Python script (include import etc, so I can use other Python libraries). In other words, I want to provide a complete (or almost complete) interactive Python Scripting environment from within my application - so that I enter commands in the VB6 console, and I get the (text) results displayed in my VB6 console, and in the case of a graphic output (let say I am importing wxPython for graphing functionality), I would have the graph display after I have typed my command in my VB6 console. My initial route was to try to embed the Python interpreter, using BOOST Python, writing a Win32 DLL around that and then calling the functions from VB6. But I had various problems with that approach - so I am now looking to use a Python COM server approach (although I would have preferred not to touch COM). I have done a lot of Googling and research online - but I can't find anything remotely useful, taht shows me how to do what I want to do. If anyone has done something similar to what I am trying to do, or knows of any links that may show me how to do provide a VB6 frontend GUI (i.e. console) fo ruse with Python, I will be very grateful. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
