[python-win32] using registered python com server dll from .NET

[Sarah Abdel Razak]

Hi all,
I implemented a python com server and generate an executable and dll using
py2exe tool. then I used regsvr32.exe to register the dll.I got a message
that the registration was successful. Then I tried to add reference to that
dll in .NET. But I can not find my server on the com tab of adding a
reference. I want to mention that I can run the server as a python script
and consume it from .net using late binding. Is there something I'm missing
or doing wrong? I would appreciate any help.

#hello.py

import pythoncom
import sys


class HelloWorld:
    #pythoncom.frozen = 1
    if hasattr(sys, 'importers'):
        _reg_class_spec_ = "__main__.HelloWorld"
    _reg_clsctx_ = pythoncom.CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER
    _reg_clsid_ = '{CDBA816B-E80F-4545-BB68-5A3270C92A74}'
    _reg_desc_ = "Python Test COM Server"
    _reg_progid_ = "Python.TestServer"
    _public_methods_ = ['Hello']
    _public_attrs_ = ['softspace', 'noCalls']
    _readonly_attrs_ = ['noCalls']

    def __init__(self):
        self.softspace = 1
        self.noCalls = 0

    def Hello(self, who):
        self.noCalls = self.noCalls + 1
        # insert "softspace" number of spaces
        print "Hello" + " " * self.softspace + str(who)
        return "Hello" + " " * self.softspace + str(who)

if __name__=='__main__':
    import sys
    if hasattr(sys, 'importers'):
        # running as packed executable.
        if '--register' in sys.argv[1:] or '--unregister' in sys.argv[1:]:
            # --register and --unregister work as usual
            import win32com.server.register
            win32com.server.register.UseCommandLine(HelloWorld)
        else:
            # start the server.
            from win32com.server import localserver
            localserver.serve('CDBA816B-E80F-4545-BB68-5A3270C92A74')
    else:
        import win32com.server.register
        win32com.server.register.UseCommandLine(HelloWorld)

# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(com_server = ["hello"])

Thanks
