[python-win32] Newbie question

[Mark C. Brighton]

Hello, I don't really have experience using win32com and I'm running into a 
problem.  I'm trying to use a COM object.  Several of the functions take 
strings as arguments, but when I pass in a string I get an exception:

>>> import win32com.client
>>> o=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("AT91Boot_DLL.AT91BootDLL.1")
>>> o.AT91Boot_Open("/usb/ARM0")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in ?
  File 
"C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\A3983AFB-180A-4751-B69B-D5496C253EF2x0x1x0.py",
 line 52, in AT91Boot_Open
, h_handle)
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 446, 
in _ApplyTypes_
return self._get_good_object_(
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): /usb/ARM0

The documentation claims that the argument is a pointer to a string.  Looking 
in PythonWin's COM browser, it appears that the object is expecting an integer 
pointer. Is there a way to get around this?  

The DLL in question can be found in:

Re: [python-win32] C# Vs Python

[Mark C. Brighton]

If you're interested in using Python with .NET, you should check out IronPython:

They've implemented Python in .NET.  Personally, I've never used it.

Sorry, I know nothing about .NET. Perhaps some other list lurker can 
speak to that. Or could you provide an example of a .NET class and its 
usage in C#?
