Python COM Class Question

I'm trying to use difflib.py from a COM aware language - and, for ease of
use, I'm initially trying to get this going from VB6.

I've wrappered difflib.py correctly I think, and I can now call into it and
call a global method (called 'test' of course). Here's the consuming code:

Dim PythonUtils As Object

Set PythonUtils = CreateObject("D iffLib.Utils")

Debug.Print PythonUtils.tes t()

However, difflib contains classes - like SequenceMatcher , and I've no idea
how to get an instance of these from PythonUtils.

Can someone help me here please?

Thanks

I hope so.

You need to wrap the Python objects for use in the COM framework - once
wrapped their methods can be called by the client code.

You'll find wrap in win32com.server .util.

Hello: Please forgive me if my question is too silly or just not well-formed. Wesley Chun in his book (Core Python Programming) says that **everything** in Python is an object. So I became curious about the precise definition of an object in Python. My curiosity was also driven by Wesley's statement that while every class instance is an object, not every object is a

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is it? This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is also talking about Ruby. So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

Hello, What is the Pythonic way of implementing getters and setters. I've heard people say the use of accessors is not Pythonic. But why? And what is the alternative? I refrain from using them because they smell "Javaish." But now my code base is expanding and I'm beginning to appreciate the wisdom behind them. I welcome example code and illustrations.

A quick question about how python parses a file into compiled bytecode. Does it parse the whole file into AST first and then compile the AST, or does it build and compile the AST on the fly as it reads expressions? (If the former case, why can't functions be called before their definitions?) Thanks, Jordan

Hi everyone, I'm a big Python fan who used to be involved semi regularly in comp.lang.python (lots of lurking, occasional posting) but kind of trailed off a bit.

This is not flamebait. I love Python, and I'm not out to antagonise the community. I also...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
