Well, first of all it would have been easier to deal with your specific problem if you'd copied the error message you got.I have a class built as a class library. It makes a Test.dll, and I can call this from other VB projects
class PyTest
private _name as string
Public Property Name() as string Get return _name End Get Set (byval value as string) _name = value End Set End Property
End Class
Then I was expecting to do something like
import win32Com.client
pt = win32com.client.Dispatch ("Test.PyTest") pt.Name = "fred" print pt.Name
However it doesn't look like the Test.dll is known. Any pointers?
Thanks

Exercising my psychic powers. I'll assume you saw something like
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005, 'Invalid class string', None, None)
The best advice I can give is as follows:
1. Start pythonWin 2. Bring up Help | PythonWin Reference 3. Follow the win32com ReadMe link under "Python COM" 4. Follow the "win32com documentation index" link 5. Follow the "A quick start to Client Side COM" link.
The document you reach (yes, accessible, isn't it - I have learned to accept that in the open source world some people program and some people write documentation, but the two sets rarely coincide) will explain the linkages between COM Objects and win32com, and the section under "To generate Python sources supporting a COM object" is probably what you need.
