DDE syntax help

[Dana Marcusanu]

Hello,

I am trying to convert an Excel SpreadSheet to Python. The formula in
Excel for one of the cells is =DDE("ser1","ser2","ser3"). The name of the
server is ser1, ser2 is the topic, and ser3 is an item.

I already tried using:

>>> import dde
>>> ddes = dde.CreateServer()
>>> ddes.Create("ser1")
>>> ddec = dde.CreateConversation(ddes)
>>> ddec.ConnectTo("ser1","ser3")
>>> ddec.Connected()
1
All is ok so far. However:

>>> ddec.Request("ser2")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
error: Request failed
>>> ddec.Exec("ser2")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
error: Exec failed
>>> 

Does anyone know the syntax to request information from a DDE server? I
could not find any useful examples in the documentation.

Thank you, Dana
