Please keep replies on the python-win32 list - others may also be able
to help you too.
You might like to check out the sample in samples\pywin32\com_server in
the py2exe distribution - that demonstrates a simple COM object and has
a VBScript sample which calls it.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I wanted to have the python and other modules from a py2exe accessible
from vb script. So I would need to have the best documentation on how to set
up the python com library to be able to call it from vb script. This is not
using a web server, but inside a screen reader script language. The one I am
using is Windoweyes Scripting language which has all or most windows methods
and the external xml file for screen displays.
I am a blind programmer and use the screen reader with a built in vb
script programming language. So, knowing Python I want to be able to call
those module methods at will. I have made executables but they reside in a
sub directory of Windoweyes and are limited to only what the .exe file does
and not flexible beyond that point.
I was given snap shots of examples but they are very spotty and actual
say they show a vb script example, but none was displayed.
I am assuming that you have to make a class for all the modules you want
to be able to call, but not really sure on that. I have spent all evening
trying to find examples and such and came up with almost nothing but an old
activestate 2.4 brief description which said little on what to do.
So, this is where I am at the moment and have found little to explain
fully what to do. It showed a way to set up the py2exe but the so called
example call from vb script was not there but it said it was. The typical
hello script example.
So, what I need is a very good tutorial on how to step by step make the
class and compile it to a distributle so it can be registered and called as
a com or automation call from vb script. Using what I would assume to be the
CreatObject command in vbs to make an instance of that object/module/method.
I am blind, so no pictures, I need just plain text to do it.
Sincerely
Bruce

Hi Again,
To be more specific I have compiled the Python inside a distributed
package and need to know how to call from within that compiled package
any method. In other words do I have to register the Python inside my
.vbs script before calling any methods?
I am saying this so another user does not need to install Python, just
call using com inside the distributed Python compiled version.
If so, how do I get the Python setup or in a form to call? I will be
doing all the calls from .VBS and how would the CreateObject from there
be done to setup to call the compiled Python interpreter?
You should develop and test using normal Python, then once you want to
distribute it to others, look into py2exe to "compile" it and an
installer program such as nsis or inno so the user can simply install it.
Hope this helps,
Mark
