Re: [Jython-users] Any experience with win32com API with Jython

[Kent J. <ken...@sk...>]

The problem is that the win32api module is implemented in C so it is 
not available from Jython.

I have had good luck using jacob for COM access to Word documents, it 
should work from Jython. Jacobgen can create wrapper classes for com 
components.
