Thanks for the reply. I already have "Learning Python" from Mark Lutz and
David Ascher, which covers 2.3 (I am in 2.4). However, it seems like heavy
artillery to me. What I want is, for instance, run a VBScript to get a
function output and feed it to the Python script that called it. The reason
is that because I feel more comfortable with VBScript and have written a
small library of useful utilities, I don't want it to become obsolete. In
the mean time I did more reading and found a couple of prospective
alternatives - popen and os.system(command). Still need to work out how to
use them...

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.


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.
