Python and Bloomberg

[SMac2347]

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone had experience using Python to
interact with Bloomberg. Ideally, I'd look to use Python to feed
Bloomberg's OVML calculator with a list of inputs, and then use an
additional program to grab the results of the calculator for each
calculation, and pull them into another document, ideally an excel
spreadsheet or alternatively a delimited .txt file.

Any thoughts or ideas are very much appreciated. Thanks!

Bloomberg has got SOAP for many (or all?) of its services.

So maybe you could use SOAPpy to communicate with it.
