[python-win32] Need help with COM MSN Messenger Interface

[Indy Liu]

I need to write a plug-in for MSN Messenger in python. All it does is 
analyze a new message string and does some string ops on it. Can some 
body please give me some tips as to how I achieve this with win32com?

I managed to obtain the messenger API type library as follows, and just 
don't know what to do from here.
"
 >>> MSN = 
gencache.EnsureModule('{E02AD29E-80F5-46c6-B416-9B3EBDDF057E}', 0, 1, 0)
 >>> dir(MSN)

I don't want to use msnp.py since it requires the user to log in with 
msnp session manually as well as their MSN Messenger. I did hours of 
search online and the conclusion is posting & crying for help in this 
forum is really my best bet.

Thanks.
