I am trying something which appears (so far), that many other people
have not yet tried before - since I can't find any useful related
material despite several days of searching various sites/blogs etc.
I want to use VB6 as a front end for building a small GUI console that
accepts python commands at the command line and executes them, returning
any results to the VB6 window.
This requires several steps, but the one I am having most problem
finding info on is the ff:
1. using/interacting the Python interpreter from VB6
Any pointers/demos etc are very welcome - and if this has already been
done, please let me know, so I can learn from what someone else has done

1. using/interacting the Python interpreter from VB6
One way to do this might be by creating a COM server with Python, and having
VB feed it lines of text and then collect results of execution for display.
win32com has demos of COM servers.

Hi Ryan, do you have a link to the resources you mentioned?. I did a
search for win32com - and found this : http://python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/FAQ.html (most of the links were
either dead, or refrerred to using COM from within Python - i.e. the
OTHER way round).

You might also want to pick up a copy of Hammond and Robinson's
"Programming Win32 in Python", which discusses various ways of
front-ending Python programs with VB interfaces.
