Thanks @AdmiralClaws! win32com does indeed work: import win32com.client hello = win32com.client.GetObject("Hello.Application") print hello.Hello("Fred")

Hello All, firstly: AutoItObject is awesome, thank you @ProgAndy + Co Now my question: I can't seem to call objects registered using _AutoItObject_RegisterObject via Python scripts. I can however call the same object fine using PHP. Example code that registers the object Hello.Application: #include <Misc.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include "AutoitObject.au3" Func Hello($oSelf, $sName) $sText = "Hello "&$sName&"!" GUICtrlSetData($nEdit, $sText) Return $sText EndFunc Func Close() Exit EndFunc ; Initialize: _Singleton("Hello") Opt("TrayIconHide", 1) Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Setup the COM interface: _AutoItObject_StartUp() $oObj = _AutoItObject_Class() $oObj.AddMethod("Hello", "Hello") $oComObj = $oObj.Object _AutoItObject_RegisterObject($oComObj, "Hello.Application") ; Show the GUI: GUICreate("Hello", 400, 45, -1, -1, $WS_CAPTION+$WS_POPUP+$WS_SYSMENU) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Close") $nEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 380, 25, $ES_READONLY) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; Main loop: While True Sleep(100) WEnd Example PHP code that works with the code above: <?php $hello = new COM("Hello.Application"); print $hello->Hello("Fred"); ?> Example Python code that doesn't work for me: import comtypes.client hello = comtypes.client.GetActiveObject("Hello.Application") print hello.Hello("Fred") I am a Python n00b, so I could easily be doing something wrong. This Python code does however work if Microsoft Word is running: import comtypes.client word = comtypes.client.GetActiveObject("Word.Application") Any pointers appreciated!
