[python-win32] Missing methods from result of Dispatch or EnsureDispatch

[Parand Tony Darugar]

Hello,

I'm attempting to use COM to connect with Microsoft Dynamics GP via eConnect. I have a working VB program, and I also have a working IronPython program. However, I can't seem to get it to work with win32com.

The main assembly I'm trying to get at is Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.eConnectMethods. In VB this looks like:

Dim eConCall As Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.eConnectMethods

And in IronPython I'm able to:

clr.AddReference("Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect")
from Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect import eConnectMethods
connect = eConnectMethods()
connect.eConnect_EntryPoint(...)

In cPython 2.6 with win32com I'm able to do the Dispatch or EnsureDispatch, but the resulting handle has no usable methods:

>>> em = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect.eConnectMethods")
>>> dir(em)  # only public methods are CLSID and coclass_clsid
>>> instance = em()
AttributeError: _eConnectMethods instance has no __call__ method

>> em.eConnect_EntryPoint(...)
AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.7120EE94-41A9-39FF-A2B4-C0F9D2B0897Dx0x10x0._e
ConnectMethods._eConnectMethods instance at 0x12286632>' object has no attribute 'eConnect_EntryPoint'

Any ideas? Words of wisdom would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Parand
