I've had great results with Python under Linux (doing a host of CGI
|
|
chores that I was too lazy or stupid to figure out with Perl) and
|
|
am now hoping that Pythonwin can save me from the many-headed Visual
|
|
Basic dragon under windows - (nothing particular against Visual Basic
|
|
except that it kept me locked in a dungeon over holidays cursing myself
|
|
for listening to its siren song -"hey, this looks easy doesn't it - come
|
|
this way" and later getting enmeshed in its buggy coils)
|
|
|
|
Anyway I've long put off learning much about MFC/COM/MAPI because
|
|
it looked too hard, but now have to find a way to implement a MAPI
|
|
service provider (an address book). I've looked at the MAPI stuff
|
|
in the python win32all distribution and it looks pretty complete (anyway,
|
|
it looks like lots of stuff that I don't understand yet is there).
|
|
|
|
Can anyone who has entered these
|
|
swamps before predict for me whether trying to do this using Python has
|
|
a chance of success, or should I instead sit with a couple thousand
|
|
page MFC/MAPI/C++ books as being more likely to succeed (perhaps, at
|
|
finally rendering me completely insane)...
