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.

I apologize if needed ... but I didn't ask about «how to program things using ctypes.com ». I asked here because you are the ones who should know about modules in stdlib . That's why I thought that it was not «very» OT

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/

Thnx !

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

Yes, I've just tried that one, but the fact is that I'm experiencing a problem with it (that I won't detail in here because this is not the list to talk about such subjects , isn't it ? ... just learning fast ... :P ) and I thought I could switch to that one ...

Thnx very much for your reply !

Olemis.
