I am looking to integrate and existing Windows program with Zope. The program uses COM which accepts XML formatted requests and provides XML formatted responses. I know nothing about using COM and nor do I have any C+ experience. I was hoping that someone could recommend a Zope/Python product that I could configure to talk to application's COM and therefore Zope could be my interface for creating/sending XML requests and parsing the XML response. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Garry Galinsky garry@galinsky.net
Here's a product that might help: http://www.zope.org/Products/COMObject But as the note says: "If you haven't used COM from Python before, then this Product is not for you." -- Andy McKay www.agmweb.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garry Galinsky" <garry@galinsky.net> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 9:16 AM Subject: [Zope] XML via MS COM

Garry, Check out: http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/ for working with python and COM. I suggest that you get the COM object to work in the regular Python environment before using it with Zope.

But, to be positive, I have a live customer site which makes use of a COM object from Zope, so it is possible :-) cheers, Chris
