executing VBScript from Python and vice versa

[Valentina Boycheva]

Is there a way to make programs written in these two languages communicate
with each other? I am pretty sure that VBScript can access a Python script
because Python is COM compliant. On the other hand, Python might be able to
call a VBScript through WSH. Can somebody provide a simple example? I have
exactly 4 days of experience in Python (and fortunately, much more in VB6)

Thanks.

Go to the bookstore and get a copy of Python Programming on Win32
by Mark Hammond, Andy Robinson today.

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonwin32/

It has everything you need.

This should help for Python accessing VBScript,

Alternatively you could try to convert your VBScript to Python.

Cool.

And it's OK, also, for JScript (MS-Javascript) :


import win32com.client

vbs = win32com.client.Dispatch("ScriptControl")
vbs.language = "vbscript"
scode="""Function mul2(x)
mul2=x*2
End Function
"""
vbs.addcode(scode)
print vbs.eval("mul2(123)")

js = win32com.client.Dispatch("ScriptControl")
js.language = "jscript"
scode="""function mul3(x){
vret=x*3;
return(vret);
}
function mul4(x){
vret=x*4;
return(vret);
}
"""
js.addcode(scode)
print js.eval("mul3(123);")
print js.eval("mul4(121);")
