Win32 Com + ADO: How to compare the result of a recordset to 'nothing'

[Felix McAllister]

Hi,
When using win32com.client, how do you test for a 'nothing' com object as you can in VB? I have an example here when using ADO to loop over multiple recordsets returned from a query. I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\dev\python\MySamples\dbtest.py", line 14, in ?
    rs.MoveFirst()
  File "C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 460, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError, "%s.%s" % (self._username_, attr)
AttributeError: <unknown>.MoveFirst

I'm assuming that after the result of rs.NextRecordSet is invalid somehow (it shouldn't be, BTW, as a similar loop runs fine in VB). 

In Perl, I'd just use : if (defined($rs)....

Any help appreciated,

Felix.

The code is as follows:
###########################3 
import win32com.client
conn = win32com.client.Dispatch("ADODB.Connection")
conn.ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);Database=Test;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
conn.Open()
rs = conn.Execute("TestSPXML")[0]
xmlString = ""
while rs != None:
    rs.MoveFirst()    # FAILS HERE ON THE SECOND ITERATION OF THE LOOP
    while not rs.EOF:
        xmlString = xmlString + rs.Fields[0].Value
        rs.MoveNext()
    rs = rs.NextRecordSet()
print xmlString
conn.Close()
