PythonCOM

The Python for Windows extensions also include excellent support for the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM). COM is a technology that allows you to use “objects” from your favorite language, even if the object isn’t implemented in your language.

Microsoft has invested heavily in COM, and it should be familiar to any Visual Basic programmer. Many applications for Windows (including Microsoft Office) can be controlled using COM, making it particularly suitable for scripting-related tasks; for example, a Python program to open an Excel spreadsheet and populate the sheet is quite simple, as we shall see later in the book.

COM and PythonCOM are discussed in Chapter 5, and in more detail in Chapter 12 .

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
