Does someone have example code snippets how to walk the shell namespace in
Python?
I'm lost in all these pidls and folders.
The code below uses the pywin32 functions to walk. Because there's all
sorts of things which can happen, I've implemented a v. broad except:
clause just to keep things going. Since this uses the pywin32 wrappers,
it's hiding a certain amount of the PIDL/SHITEM stuff, but the functions
are pretty much the underlying win32 ones.
One thing I don't know how to do without using comtypes is to find the parent.
the SHBindToParent function would be the way to go but it's not exposed and
I don't have the energy to set up all the comtypes boilerplate to make it
happen:
I'm sure you can manage, though :)

Thanks Tim, your script gave me a good start.
It seems that pywin32 wraps pidls as list of strings, so getting the parent
is as simple as removing the last part:
from win32com.shell.shell import *
from win32com.shell.shellcon import *
desktop = SHGetDesktopFolder()
desktop.ParseDisplayName(0, None, r"c:\python26\lib\site-packages")

eaten, pidl, attr = desktop.ParseDisplayName(0, None,

desktop.GetDisplayNameOf(pidl, SHGDN_FORPARSING)

desktop.GetDisplayNameOf(pidl[:-1], SHGDN_FORPARSING)

desktop.GetDisplayNameOf(pidl[:-4], SHGDN_FORPARSING)
u'::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}'
What I find strange if this:
desktop.GetDisplayNameOf(pidl, SHGDN_FORPARSING)
u'C:\\Python26\\Lib\\site-packages'
desktop.GetDisplayNameOf(pidl, SHGDN_NORMAL)
u'Python26'
IIRC, GetDisplayNameOf returns the name of a direct child - not the
child of a child. So the "correct" way to do this would be to find the
direct parent of the PIDL you are interested in and ask that.
Also IIRC, the lack of SHBindToParent can be worked around with
IShellFolder::BindToObject - SHBindToParent is just a helper around
doing exactly that.
HTH,
