[python-win32] How to access Visual Basic's "Application" object, in Python

[Tony Cappellini]

I am trying to mimic a short VB program in Python, which iterates over an
Outlook 2002 global address list.

The program runs in VB, so it is working. Unfortunately, I have to have
outlook running for it to work. I was hoping it could be done without
having to launch Outlook. This is only a minor issue though.

However, I don't know what to use  in Python, for VB's Application object,
which is like a pointer to the entire process that is running the
application. From Application, I can access the name of the executable,
the version number, tha path, and some other attibutes.

 This is the vb
program.

Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS, objAL, objAE, objMember

    On Error Resume Next
    Set objOL = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
    If objOL Is Nothing Then
        Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
        objOL.Session.Logon "my profile", , False, True
    End If


    Set objNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set objAL = objNS.AddressLists("Global Address List")
    Set objAE = objAL.AddressEntries("python users")

    Debug.Print objAL.AddressEntries.Count
    Debug.Print objAE.Members.Count
    For Each objMember In objAE.Members
        Debug.Print objMember.Name, objMember.Address

    Next


Does nayone have a suggestion?
