What are com_record objects

[Gijs Korremans]

Hi,

I want to connect to a com object with win32.client.
Through this com object a have to connect to an other device with object.Connect(struct IPADDRESS_STRUCT * ip)

the struct IPADDRESS_STRUCT looks like this:

Byte Offset Name Type Length (Bytes) Description
0 b1 BYTE 1 Byte 1 of an internet address
1 b2 BYTE 1 Byte 2 of an internet address
2 b3 BYTE 1 Byte 3 of an internet address
3 b4 BYTE 1 Byte 4 of an internet address

Because Python doesn't have structs like C, I tried to do it with a class (C structs are classes with no private) and with pack but I always get the error message "Only com_record objects can be used as records"

I'm new in the python language but I couldn't find anything about structs or com_records in python on the internet.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Kind regards,
Gijs

Python does have struct module that allows you to create
C-style structures.

Googling for "python struct" give us:

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-struct.html

I use it a lot to interface to COM object and to call
methods in .DLLs.
