Hello !

Recently I found a code snippet [1] illustrating integration between Python and COM technology in Win32 systems. I tried to reproduce it and I can't import module ctypes.com.

First, the python-dev mailing list is used for developing the Python language itself, not developing WITH Python. For questions about developing with Python, please use the newsgroup comp.lang.python.

Q:

- Is it (ctypes.com) distributed with stdlib ? If that's true then I'm affraid that those py files were removed somehow (accidentally ? who knows ? ) ...

ctypes.com is very old and has been superseeded by the comtypes package: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/comtypes/

An even more popular package for using COM with python is pywin32: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

-- Thanks, Thomas
