Is there any plan to incorporate comtypes into EG in the near future?
comtypes is a pure Python, lightweight COM client and server framework, based on the ctypes Python FFI package.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/comtypes/
I am a Python newbie with alot of embedded C/C++ experience.
I am writing a plugin for the X10 CM15A.
Thx,
Dean

Incorporate comtypes in EG?

Re: Incorporate comtypes in EG?
It would be possible to try to include this package, but it needs some modifications I guess. This package will work similar to the win32com package in the aspect that it will create files dynamically and this won't work out of the box if the package is frozen to an EXE (like EventGhost). For limited user accounts this will also not work if it creates the files in the program directory, as they might not have write access there. So this cache directory has to be moved to the application data folder of the user.
I never have tried this package and to see what has to be done I need an example. So I suggest you first try it with your plugin exclusively by adding the comtypes package to your plugin folder. Then you should be able to just import it with "import comtypes.client" or whatever normally. When we have something to play with, I can take a deeper look to patch the package for frozen execution and add it to the base distribution.

Please post software-related questions in the forum - PMs will only be answered, if really private, thanks!

Might bump this thread.

If xAP or xPL were supported you would get CM15a support by default, plus a bunch of other hardware devices.

Re: Incorporate comtypes in EG?
Sounds good to me.
I have a rudimentary receiver / transmitter CM15A program up and running using the CM15A SDK & comtypes. I did it using the PythonWin IDE. I plan to use the USB-UIRT plugin as a template for my EG CM15A plugin. I will move it to the EG environment.
As soon as I have it I will send it to you for EG integration, ok?
Thanks for your prompt response.
