Back I'm following Bernard's advice from a while ago and taking a look at Python for XSI scripting. I'm particularly excited about importing the COM type libraries into the Pythonwin IDE and getting some code completion help from the IDE. I think this should work fine... except that in the COM browser, all the softimage type libaries show up with a note "si3dobjectmodel.tlb can not be loaded" or the like on them.
In the registry, I've noticed that they are set up without absolute paths and such... so I thought perhaps using the following batch file would help.
C:\Softimage\XSI_4.2\Application\bin\setevt.bat Pythonwin.exe
but it doesn't seem to help at all.
In other IDEs for other languages I've had to point tlb importing programs to the absolute path of the tlb files in order to get a proper import. But Pythonwin doesn't seem to have that capability.
I've contemplated hand hacking the regsitry to substitute absolute paths but I'm warry.
Has anyone gotten this to work? I'd really love to be able to properly import the com libraries into the IDE so I can get the benefits of code completion and all the other features.
