I want to know what members and variables a dynamically created Python class has.
The win32com.client.getevents() function generates a base class with the events of a given COM object, given either ClsID (the 128-bit COM identifier) or ProgID (descriptive name). So, I want to know the interface of the class generated by getevents().
The answer shouldn't require any Win32 COM knowledge since the created class is a normal Python class.
But, for those who are interested, here's a little more background:
I need to catch events from a set of COM objects created by others.
This set of COM objects are contained in a out of process COM server (EXE file), with a base container object (the controller) that can be created by name (ProgID) that holds several other, different COM objects (axes).
I can create the controller using the win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents() funtion, but since the axes already exist, they don't need to be created; all they need is to have an event-handling class (created using getevents() to generate the base class) to be attached to them.
I can get the result I need by finding the ClsID for the COM axis class, and passing this to getevents(). However, I don't like using the ClsID because it can easily change (e.g. it's different for debug and release versions), but the only ProgID I have is for the controller COM object, not the axes COM objects. So, I want to know what getevents() generates when I pass the controller ProgID, since if it generates events for all the classes in the type library, then I should be OK.
Summary:
Python is good stuff so far, although the Win32 COM documentation could be much better.
COM is a typical MS hack job.
