I have a Python ap that needs current stock prices, which I want to get from eSignal's DDE server. Following the win32all example:
import win32ui import dde server = dde.CreateServer() server.Create("eSignalDDE") conversation = dde.CreateConversation(server) conversation.ConnectTo("WINROS", "Last") last = conversation.Request("$spx") print last Which almost works. The return in PythonWin is the correct price as a string with some extra chartacters appended. '1402.670000000000\x00\x12\x00*\x00\x00\x004\xfb\x12\x00\xfd\x1a\xd9w4\xc1\x00' Any thoughts on this?
