Thanks for your tips. But dir() and inspect did not really help. dir(): ['GetIDsOfNames', 'GetTypeInfo', 'GetTypeInfoCount', 'Invoke', 'InvokeTypes', 'QueryInterface', '_ApplyTypes_', '_FlagAsMethod', '_LazyAddAttr_', '_NewEnum', '_Release_', '__AttrToID__', '__LazyMap__', '__call__', '__cmp__', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__getitem__', '__init__', '__int__', '__len__', '__module__', '__nonzero__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__setitem__', '__str__', '_builtMethods_', '_enum_', '_find_dispatch_type_', '_get_good_object_', '_get_good_single_object_', '_lazydata_', '_make_method_', '_mapCachedItems_', '_oleobj_', '_olerepr_', '_print_details_', '_proc_', '_unicode_to_string_', '_username_', '_wrap_dispatch_']
pprint.pprint(inspect.getmembers(objDom)): [('GetIDsOfNames', <built-in method GetIDsOfNames of PyIDispatch object at 0x00AB7BFC>), ('GetTypeInfo', <built-in method GetTypeInfo of PyIDispatch object at 0x00AB7BFC>), ('GetTypeInfoCount', <built-in method GetTypeInfoCount of PyIDispatch object at 0x00AB7BFC>), ('Invoke', <built-in method Invoke of PyIDispatch object at 0x00AB7BFC>), ('InvokeTypes', <built-in method InvokeTypes of PyIDispatch object at 0x00AB7BFC>), ('QueryInterface', <bound method ADSIDispatch.QueryInterface of <COMObject Dispatch wrapper around <PyIDispatch at 0xab7bfc with obj at 0x2625c8>>>), ('_ApplyTypes_', <bound method ADSIDispatch._ApplyTypes_ of <COMObject Dispatch wrapper around <PyIDispatch at 0xab7bfc with obj at 0x2625c8>>>), ... Further more this nice method also did not know any more: objDom._print_details_(): AxDispatch container Dispatch wrapper around <PyIDispatch at 0xab7bfc with obj at 0x2625c8> Methods: Props: Get Props: Put Props: Any additional hint ? Could it be, that you must know in advance, what to ask a com object; so there is no dump possibility ? Thanks Wolfgang -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
