Python COM for Microsoft Project

[Mark Barclay]

Mike,

For the "list of objects" (classes, actually) that Microsoft Project exports
(if it behaves like their other VBA enabled applications), simply do the
following:

Run Microsoft Project
Select menu: Tools -> Macros-> Visual Basic Editor
Select menu: View -> Project Explorer
In the first list box, select the application itself, and you will see the
API, annotated by class.

I hope this helps.
