    Help with conversion VB script to Python : COM objects

    Hi,

    I need to re-write a VB script into Python (because I really don't like
    VB).

    The VB script is used to create a Windows COM object.
    (I am more of Unix guy, so COM objects are a little bit alien for me).

    At a certain point in the VB script, I have the following line:
    objPolTypes = objPmad.Cvar(ob jPmad.GetPolicy TypeList)

    Does anybody what the equivalent in Python would be?
    I tried:
    objPolTypes = objPmad.Cvar(ob jPmad.GetPolicy TypeList() )

    but then I get the following error:
    "
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:\Python24\My Progs\FodFin\te st.py", line 11, in ?
    objPolTypes = objPmad.cvar(ob jPmad.GetPolicy TypeList() )
    File "<COMObject PMAD.OvPmdPolic yManager>", line 2, in cvar
    pywintypes.com_ error: (-2147352571, 'Type mismatch.', None, 1)
    "

    I also tried :
    objPolTypes = objPmad.GetPoli cyTypeList()

    this works but I end of with a list of COM object and have no clue how
    to query/use them or what methods are defined for those type of
    objects.

    Any help really appreciated.

    With kind regards,

    KRis

      If the application has a typelib, you can use makepy to generate a wrapper
      module that will show you the objects' methods and properties.
      Otherwise, you'll have to depend on the documentation for the app.
