Wikipedia just opened a new hosting platform i will try to get a site and make a media wiki so people in the python world can read/write on win32 API's Etc..... Although it would kill allot of the traffic on this list i am sure no one would mind!

>>wonderful Python-ish API on how to access for example Outlook Express You can go to the Microsoft MSDN site and look for the VBA reference for Outlook Express. In particular, search for the Outlook Express Object Hierarchy chart/reference. Without knowing this, the API's are pretty hard to use, unless you've done it before. You can also search on websites which have support for Visual Basic 6. There are a tremendous amount of programs written to interact with the Office applications from Visual Basic. I once wrote a Python script to pull names out of an Outlook distribution list. I started by finding out how Visual Basic called Outlook, and translated that to Python. VIsual Basic resources can be a bighelp. Good luck! From: "Bokverket" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [python-win32] Python as scripting glue, WAS Python for sysadmin To: <python-win32@python.org> Message-ID: < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Tim and Michael, I am a Python neophyte and must admit that I am not familiar with all those Python library names that swish around this list. But that was not my point. The tasks on Michael's list that he has done/helped out with lately are to a large extent useful jobs that an ordinary user would love. Well, at least one who know how to program, iow use Python as _the_ scripting language to glue all these Micrsoft parts and apps together. This would require a wonderful Python-ish API on how to access for example Outlook Express address lists, Word and the file system. Plus some wonderful examples of useful examples and how to execute them in a Window environment.. IOW, making Python for Windows what AWK was for DOS :-) Does this library already exist, easy-to-use? Maybe this would be another book project for you?!
