[python-win32] How to return dict from Python COM

[Rodrigo Strauss]

To use a Scripting.Dictionary, here goes an example code:


>>> from win32com.client import Dispatch
>>> d = Dispatch('Scripting.Dictionary')
>>> d.Add('key1', 'Value1')
>>> d.Add('key2', 2)
>>> d.Add(3, 'Value3')

Just return the object 'd' from your python COM object.
