It's all quite elegant, too. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: COM Client / Server creation?
What went wrong... Operator Error. My appologies. If typed in correctly the example works perfectly. I was using the PythonWin shell and when I started to type in it suggested CDispatch and I typed that in. I will be looking to pick up a copy of the book if I continue to use Python. I still do not know if it will be sufficient to my purposes. It looks like a very powerful scripting language. Dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: COM Client / Server creation?
Ive got the chapter from the net on COM. It looks pretty old, 2000. Also the very first example in the chapter on COM doesn't seem to work. Is what I am wanting to do possible with Python? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
