You need to patch Zope 2.0 to initialize COM. I posted http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-August/001389.html After that COMObject may work, but you may get better mileage out of external methods. Hope this helps,

Has anyone had any luck with using COMObject with Zope 2.0?

I installed Zope, then win32all. Next I changed the start.bat to "C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe" ... Trying connect to the COM object gives this:

Error Type: com_error Error Value: (-2147221008, 'CoInitialize has not been called.', None, None)
