google earth / pythoncom

J

John Walsh

Hi,

I'd like to write a python script to control Google Earth,
and I've read that Google Earth provides a COM api, and that
Python has a COM module 'pythoncom'.

Anyone know where to get pythoncom from - as a separate module,
because I'm using the Python application that comes with my GPS
chip, from Telit :-

http://www.telital.com/toru/TelitPy1_5_2+_v4_1.zip

NB. this (I'm told) is a reduced version of Python that allows
me to run 'EZPython' scripts on the GPS chip.

The Python script I want to run to control Google Earth will be
on the PC (WinXP) - so maybe I should install the 'normal/full'
Python on the PC too - if that can be done ? Have 2 Pythons installed
on one PC ?

Any advice welcome.

Thanks,
john.

I think what you are looking for you can download from here:

The main page is here:

You can have two python installations on one pc. You have to use the
full path to the interpreter to get the one you want. Or, the first one
it finds in your path will be used.

Innovative positioning package from Round Solutions:

Website and starter kit for tracking applications

Dreieich, March 15th 2007 - Round Solutions, a specialist and value-
added distributor for M2M applications, is now offering its customers
an attractive developer package. This includes the access to the
www.track4free.com website and a starter kit based on what is
currently the world's smallest GPRS GPS module. The package assists
system integrators in the development of compact and inexpensive
tracking solutions.
The latest positioning package from Round Solutions is based in the
customer's access to the www.track4free.com website. This track4free
server relies on Google Maps and offers free global GPS positioning.
To use the online platform, a function-enabled GPS device is needed
that can transmit geographical data via HDCSD, GPRS, EDGE or UMTS.
Following registration with track4free, the user is shown examples of
a map that illustrates his or her positional data along with a range
of other information. This is enhanced by extensive documentation
about the movements made by the user's device. Users can register up
to two applications per account.
Starter kit promotes development
System integrators also have the option of using the Round Solutions
starter kit when developing their tracking application. The Basic
Board S3 is based on what is currently the world's smallest combined
GPRS-GPS module, equipped with extremely small embedded antennas. The
starter kit's core component is a licence-free Phython interpreter
with a free-of-charge Phython code. This transmits the device's GPS
position to the track4free server. The HTTP protocol is provided free
of charge.
The starter kit has been developed completely as a BGA design. It
assists developers in their mission to create very small and
inexpensive positioning devices for various fields of application.
Extensive additional services
Round Solutions supports system integrators with design-in services
and bespoke adaptations for integrated antennas. If developers have
any queries, they can access 24-hour support from the world's biggest
GSM / GPRS / UMTS / GPS user community, which has more than 3,000
members from all over the globe.
Premium customers can also have their designs and devices checked and
tested free of charge by Round Solutions. The package is supplemented
by a free marketing service, which establishes contact with several
thousand companies. "Our services make it significantly easier for our
customers to sell their products," explains Ben Hoelke, CEO of Round
Solutions.

Tom, Meff,

Thanks for your replies - very useful.

Meff - we already have the GSM/GPS module, but we will take
a look at Round and track4free.


Tom - yes, got the win32 extension working, and the com interface
to google earth is working fine...

John.
