Python and Windows Scripting Host

[Roger Upole]

The Wscript object is not referenced directly as a Python variable.
You create it via win32com.client.Dispatch:
    import win32com.client
    wsh=win32com.client.Dispatch('Wscript.Shell')
    wnt =win32com.client.Dispatch('Wscript.Network')
    ...
Then you can use the their functions as
    wsh.somefunction()
    wnt.somefunction()
    ...
>From Pythonwin, if you first run the makepy utility from the tools menu
and select Windows Scripting Host, autocomplete will magically show
you what functions are available.
