[python-win32] Running the COM MakePy Utility from python

[Massa, Harald Armin]

Grant,

that is possible. Just read the makepy.py script within win32com.client, and
you will find that someway down main() there is

---------
GenerateFromTypeLibSpec(arg, f, verboseLevel = verboseLevel, bForDemand =
bForDemand, bBuildHidden = hiddenSpec)
---------

which does this.

BUT, for "static" usage of makepy-COM-Mappings I suggest to make makepy
output it's results in a named file

makepy -o ADO28.py

and furtheron import that ADO28 file to access the variables. That does also
work  with Excel and Word, and I am used to

import ExcelXX as Excel
ec=Excel.constants

and further on us ec.* for excel constants.

Best wishes,

HArald
