Okay... Getting somewhere!
import sysimport os.pathfrom win32com.client import makepy
tlbs =
['/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/Converter.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/LightRig.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/XSIDial.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/dotXSI_ie.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/dsauto.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/enums.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/ophelper.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/si3dobjectmodel.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/si3dobjectmodel10.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/siobjectmodel.tlb','/path/to/Softimage_2013_SP1/Application/bin/xsiutils.tlb']
for path in tlbs:
baseFolder = r'/path/somewhere/to/save/pyfiles/'
sys.argv = ["makepy", "-o", "%s/%s.py" % (baseFolder,
os.path.basename(path).split('.')[0]), path]
makepy.main()
This gets me some files I can introspect for methods and such.
