Writing an OPC client with Python ?

[F. GEIGER]

About a year ago I dev'ed a host app in Python (2.3 at that time) to control 
a KUKA KR16 robot. Comm was over OPC. The OPC 2.0 server was inst'ed on the 
KRC2. What I was needed to do, was to install the appropriate (i.e. delivere 
together w/ the server) client software and to take Mark Hammonds COM Makepy 
utility to to create the wrapper. The rest of the story was fun, pure fun, 
as Python programming always is.

So, register the client software, fire up PythonWin, start the COM Makepy 
utility and wrap that DLL. If you are completely new to this stuff, it might 
help to look at all that from w/i MSVB 6.0 or something like that.
