Thanks again Emile, I'll try out some examples. I found this one:
http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/video?name=2190050&fromSeriesID=219
quite enlightning.
One last doubt is: say the python code gets used by more Excel Users (different
pc), can I include in some way a dinamic generation of the id in order to allow
each pc to register is own COM server or do I have to hard code the id on each
machine specifically?
Here's how to generate an ID, but it's likely not to occur on other
machines.
>>> import pythoncom; print pythoncom.CreateGuid()
{CE571F2A-6BD8-4A8D-9482-4EC02FAC171E}
There's an interesting perspective on uniqueness of guid's at
http://betterexplained.com/articles/the-quick-guide-to-guids/
So, create it once and hardcode it in. If you provide new features in a
subsequent version you may want to issue a new guid, particularly to
develop a new version while still running the old on the same machine.
Each user will then need to have python and pythonwin installed, then
run your com server to execute the com server registration piece in the
"if __name__ == '__main__'" part of things.
