I forgot to mention what comtypes is, sorry for that: comtypes -------- **comtypes** is a lightweight Python COM package, based on the ctypes FFI library, in less than 10000 lines of code (not counting the tests). **comtypes** allows to define, call, and implement custom and dispatch-based COM interfaces in pure Python. It works on Windows, 64-bit Windows, and Windows CE. > Here are the release notes: > > comtypes 0.6.2 released. > > Summary of important changes: > > - Several bug fixes for COM event handlers implemented in Python. > > - Allow typelib wrappers that (wrongly?) contain > 'SAFEARRAY(VARIANT)*'. > > - DllCanUnloadNow() always returns S_FALSE in comtypes inproc > COM servers. > > - The COM interfaces IViewObject, IViewObject2, and > IViewObjectEx in the new module comtypes.viewobject. > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Detailed changelog since version 0.6.0: > > 2010-01-15 Thomas Heller <thel...@python.net> > > * Bumped version number to 0.6.2. > > * CoUninitialize() returns nothing, not HRESULT. > > 2009-12-22 Thomas Heller <thel...@python.net> > > * Bug fixes for event handlers implemented in Python. > > 2009-12-11 Thomas Heller <thel...@python.net> > > * COM servers implemented in Python can now fire events; it did > not work in some cases. > > * When an exception occurs in a COM event handler, a traceback is > printed. > > 2009-11-26 Thomas Heller <thel...@python.net> > > * Allow typelib wrappers that contain 'SAFEARRAY(VARIANT*)' > parameter types to be imported.
