That will show him the attributes of the Python wrapper around the COM object, it won't show him the attributes of the underlying COM object itself. If I remember correctly (and its a while since I did this), you may be able to use win32com/client/makepy.py to generate a .py file from a type library. If you do this then the python wrapper will have methods to forward the calls, so you can inspect it as above. Unfortunately, not all COM objects have to have type libraries, so it isn't always possible to do this and then you have to fall back on reading the documentation for whatever COM object you are using. You can also embed a call to gencache.EnsureModule() into your code to generate the needed wrappers automatically: the output from makepy tells you this. The easy way to run makepy is to run PythonWin and use 'COM makepy utility' from its tool menu. Then all you have to do is figure out which of the type libraries in the system is the relevant one. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
