I'm doing COM programming and use the MakePy utility on Windows (PythonWin Editor --> tool).
Based on the article http://www.oreilly.de/catalog/pythonwin32/chapter/, I'm trying to have context help on a COM object.
For example:

import win32com.client
xl=win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xl.Visible=1
x1.<CTRL-Space for help>

Any idea?

Thanks,
Nicolas

  From your code it appears that Dispatch is a function, and as such, pydev is not able to get information by doing static analysis on it... That's a shortcoming of non-types languages (there's probably not much to do about it).
