D'oh! I told you it was something stupid I was doing. Thanks for the kick in the head. On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 8:41 PM, Maksim Kozyarchuk < mkozyarchuk@funddevelopmentservices.com> wrote:

Shawn, GetAvailableDevices is a method, you should be calling it.

I.e. for r in QuickCam.GetAvailableDevices(): print r

I am trying to use the QuickCamLib library with Python.net. I looks like I'm not getting the .net library loaded right, but I'm new to Python.net and to .net in general, so I'm not sure I'm doing everything right.

The quickcamlib is here: http://grazz.com/projects/quickcamlib

Here's what I get on the shell:

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

from System.Drawing import Point p = Point(5,5) print p {X=5,Y=5}

(the "Point" stuff is there to show that Python.net seems to work for some objects, just not others)

The 'unbound method' message is worrisome. Seems to me it should have done something instead of just complain that it is unbound. Lazy binding isn't usually this lazy :)

I don't know enough about .net to really test this library any other way, so it is also possible the library is dorked up somehow.

If I need to send more/different data, please let me know. Like I said, I'm new at a lot of this, so I'm likely missing something simple.

Thanks in advance.
