What i mean is GUI apps, interfacing with excel,word and > outlook etc.. Well, for one, Python requires a lot less code to accomplish the same task:
The following is a very simple C# program, a version of the classic "Hello, world!" example: class ExampleClass { static void Main() { System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!"); } } Th Python equivalent is: print "Hello, world!" With the assistance of Mark Hammond's excellent pywin package, COM interfacing is at least as easy as in other languages: import win32com.client xl = win32com.client.Dispatch("excel.application") xl.visible = True wb = xl.WorkBooks.Open(filename) sh = wb.Sheets(1) etc. There are various GUI toolkits available. I've not done much with them. -- Bob Gailer 510-978-4454 _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
