SyntaxError: can't assign to function call win32com.client

[Stefan Migowsky]

Hi,

properties with parameters are only supported in Python if
you use the generated wrapper (makepy.py) dynamic generated
code will fail. With the wrapper your call would look like :
 
objUser.SetDynamicProperty("BILLING_ADDRESS2", "3 The Street")

you could check if you have wrapper support with a one liner:
>>> objUser
<COMObject unknown>  # No Wrapper support
>>> objUser
<win32com.gen_py.SomeNameObjectLibrary.SomeClassDefinition>  # Wrapper
support
