Hi
I am trying to communicate with a vendor's WebService, using PyWin32. I am
successful using most of the methods, but I don't know how to interpret those
returning a dictionary like object.
Obfuscating the vendor name with XXX everywhere, to avoid checking on whether
it
is acceptable to communicate about this, the code looks like
sc = win32com.client.Dispatch("MSSOAP.SoapClient")
sc.mssoapinit("http://localhost:1024/wsdl/IXXXWebService";)
sc.connect()
ret = sc.ReadMeasureDataParam(paramName)
Under C# or VB, ret would be a dictionary like object with 6 different keys,
such as LongName and ShortName, accessed as ret.LongName, etc. Using that
under
PyWin32 gives an attribute error, but I can index with the [0] to [5].
Unfortunately, doing that still returns an object I don't know how to interpret.
There are several other functions that have the same issue, but I think the
basic problem is identical.
The relevant XML code follows. I manually chopped the code apart, eliminating
what I though was unnecessary.
Thanks,
