DDE syntax help

[Dana Marcusanu]

Hello,

I am trying to convert an Excel SpreadSheet to Python. The formula in
Excel for one of the cells is =DDE("ser1","se r2","ser3"). The name of the
server is ser1, ser2 is the topic, and ser3 is an item.

I already tried using:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import dde
>>> ddes = dde.CreateServe r()
>>> ddes.Create("se r1")
>>> ddec = dde.CreateConve rsation(ddes)
>>> ddec.ConnectTo( "ser1","ser 3")
>>> ddec.Connected( )[/color][/color][/color]
1
All is ok so far. However:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> ddec.Request("s er2")[/color][/color][/color]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interacti ve input>", line 1, in ?
error: Request failed[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> ddec.Exec("ser2 ")[/color][/color][/color]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interacti ve input>", line 1, in ?
error: Exec failed[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>>[/color][/color][/color]

Does anyone know the syntax to request information from a DDE server? I
could not find any useful examples in the documentation.

Thank you, Dana
