Python on Win32 and MFC

[Gilles Lenfant]

Hi,

I bought and read most of (excellent) Mark Hammond's book, Python
programming on Win32.
I started to make some sophisticated "hello world" app using win32ui (...)
but I need some more information to make the bridge between this book and
the MFC (black hole for me) in depth.

Any advise on good reading, and some python examples ?

Many thanks in advance.

here's an example showing how to use the Registry API in
ActivePython.

I have other scripts that enum windows, use Menu objects, and do
IPC using SendMessage.

pyj = wi.RegOpenKey( wc.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, os.path.join(kName,

(num2, val2, work2) = wi.RegQueryInfoKey(pyj)

if num2 > 0:
# we are ingnoring multi versions, like Ado (2.1, 2.5, 2.7, etc)
svers = wi.RegEnumKey( pyj, 0)
valkey = wi.RegQueryValue( pyj, svers)

else:
valkey = wi.RegQueryValue( pyk, guid)

print guid, svers, valkey
nt = nt + 1

pyk.Close()
sys.exit()

you might want to look at venster. It lighthly wraps the windows c
functions in python.
