FWIW...
I had a client-side COM .dll automation file (used by IE browser) that connects to a WCOM server running under JBoss on Linux connecting via JDBC to Oracle on Solaris.

Once we found iPy, we forged ahead with a single Windows host as the intermediary between our other Unix clients. No .dll COM automation required on the clients as they all communicate via http to the single IronPython host running the http server. The iPy tutorial explains how to convert your .dll COM file using the .NET SDK and import it for use in IronPython.

We researched your question about COM on Linux and only found defunct projects for COM emulation on Unix.

But iPy give you the COM automation in your iPy scripts along with all the Python goodness (e.g. http server, queue server, etc).

I think that COM is a Windows only thing. I have never heard of it existing in the Linux world. Perhaps the Mono people have emulated DCOM (Distributed COM)?, and will answer here.
Otherwise, you are out of luck as far as running on Linux is concerned.

If you want to run this on Windows, you can access MySQL using adodbapi, which does the necessary COM for you.
See http://adodbapi.sourceforge.net
The MySQL server can be on either a Linux or Windows machine. My test server runs on Ubuntu Linux.

    Hi all, i'm new here, but not to python...
    I've started to study IronPy for thi problem.


    I'm developing a web application for data storing.
    Application is py + Turbogears + Mysql

    Most of data come from a COM object installed on a Windows server.
    This is a financial statistical  software developed for
    interaction with Microsoft office product.
    With python and win32 is possible to use it and automate some
    work...... but my purpose is to have an unique server linux  and i
    cannot figure how to use this COM object.


    some suggestion?

    than you
    Glauco
