Python and Windows Scripting Host

[Jim Bower]

Here is what I am trying to do:

import win32com

WScript.Echo("Hello")

Here is what is happening:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "d:\Python\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 310, in
RunScript
    exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
  File "C:\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\Desktop\test.py", line 3, in ?
    WScript.Echo("Hello")
NameError: WScript

Thanks,
Jim Bower jbower at lims.com
