COM server and Python

[gruss_player]

Hi,

I'm trying to get ba working with Python vai it's COM interface. This should be possible as python has a pretty good win32com.client library, you can for example read from excel very easily. I have no experience with VBA or C, so python is the easiest way for me to automate ba

So far I have the following

Code: Select all

ba = Dispatch ("BettingAssistantCom.Application.ComClass")   #Calls for ba

user_name = ba.getUserName

print user_name

Which correctly outputs my betfair user name

When I try to do a call for get Sports using

Code: Select all

sports = ba.getSports


I get

Code: Select all

(<COMObject <unknown>>, <COMObject <unknown>>, <COMObject <unknown>>, <COMObject <unknown>>, <COMO .... etc.....

[/code]

I understand that this should return a list of sports and not an <unknown> value.
I've also tried ba.getSports(), which gives a python tuple (like a list) error...

Code: Select all

sports = ba.getSports()
TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable

If anyone has any experience interfacing with the COM server and can offer advice that would be great.

Thanks,

Looks like that's too technical of an issue but were you able to find someone to do this for you yet?
