Scripting Visio using Python

[Paul Watson]

I would like to create some additional shapes in Microsoft Visio using
the Python language. It would appear that Visio can use any CLR
language. Has anyone done this? Can I use the Python package from
python.org, or must I use IronPython?

Don't know how to do that, but I suggest you post your question on the
IronPython list: http://groups.google.com/group/ironpy?lnk=li

Python is not a .NET language, IronPython is.

An alternative might be to work (cross-platform) wit the vxd (XML)
file format. A good reader/writer for that would be handy.
