What you are trying to create is a COM server. If you search for "python COM server", you will find many examples. It does have to be written in a particular way. You have to identify the functions you want to be exposed, the registry program ID, and the registry GUID in specially named class members (_public_methods_, _reg_progid_, _reg_clsid_). I suggest you make the COM part work first. Once you have that working, then you can dig in to py2exe to make it standalone. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
