Hi all,
I am a relatively new user of pywin32 package, but not Python. I have an
application (written in C/#, as I understand) that provides a COM
interface for using with other languages such as Python. I am using the
pywin32 library to communicate with the application and it works fairly
well. However, I am facing a particular kind of problem. The problem is
that the application exposes some interface objects that inherit from
other base objects but the methods defined in the base class objects
doesn't seem to be accessible to the child class object. Is this type of
behavior is atypical with pywin32? If so, what is the recommended way of
addressing this problem? Currently, I am patching these methods in the
child class object and delegating the calls to the parent object (using
CastTo)) as shown in the pseudo-code below:
class MyBaseClass:
...
...
def my_parent_method(self):
base = win32com.client.CastTo(self, 'MyParentClass')
return base.my_parent_method()
...
Although this strategy works, I would like to find out if there is a
more efficient/ automatic way of resolving this issue. In my
particular case, there are a large number of such objects (that inherit
from some base class without access to the methods defined in the parent
class) provided by the application and I would like to avoid re-writing
all the methods for all such objects.
I hope I have been able to explain my problem well.
Thank you very much,
Best regards,
Indranil.
