List of all methods in COMobject

Is it possible?

Something along the lines:

import win32com.client
ProgID = "someProgramID"
com_object = win32com.client.Dispatch(ProgID)

for methods in com_object:
    print methods

I got com_object.__dict__

one that lists:

[_oleobj_, _lazydata_, _olerepr_, _unicode_to_string_, _enum_, _username_, _mapCachedItems_, _builtMethods_]

Most of them are empty except:

  • _oleobj_

    (PyIDispatch)
  • _lazydata_

    (PyITypeInfo)
  • _olerepr_

    (LazyDispatchItem instance)
  • _username_

    ( <unknown>

    )

But I don't know how to access anything in these types.

Just found how to get most of the methods:

Here's how:

import win32com.client
import pythoncom

ProgID = "someProgramID"
com_object = win32com.client.Dispatch(ProgID)

for key in dir(com_object):
    method = getattr(com_object,key)
    if str(type(method)) == "<type 'instance'>":
        print key
        for sub_method in dir(method):
            if not sub_method.startswith("_") and not "clsid" in sub_method.lower():
                print "\t"+sub_method
    else:
        print "\t",method


Here's an example output with ProgID = "Foobar2000.Application.0.7"

Output:

To list the attributes of an object, you can use the dir () function. This is a built-in python function and does not need to be imported. Try something like:

print dir (object)



To see the attributes of an object.
