FW: executing VBScript from Python and vice versa

[Valentina Boycheva]

Thanks for the reply. I already have "Learning Python" from Mark Lutz and
David Ascher, which covers 2.3 (I am in 2.4). However, it seems like heavy
artillery to me. What I want is, for instance, run a VBScript to get a
function output and feed it to the Python script that called it. The reason
is that because I feel more comfortable with VBScript and have written a
small library of useful utilities, I don't want it to become obsolete. In
the mean time I did more reading and found a couple of prospective
alternatives - popen and os.system(command). Still need to work out how to
use them...

Go to the bookstore and get a copy of Python Programming on Win32
by Mark Hammond, Andy Robinson today.

   http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonwin32/

It has everything you need.
