Getting Application object in Python 2005-03-28 - By Bernard Lebel
Back
The issue was brought up not later than... today!
import win32com
Application = win32.client.Dispatch( 'XSI.Application' )
xsi = Application.application
xsi.logmessage( 'hello!' )
xsi.logmessage( xsi.classname( xsi.selection(0) ) )
Setting module globals never really worked well for me, so instead I
instantiate the Application object in every module I import.
Cheers
