[python-win32] Add-in question: Pulling a list of Excel Add-ins

[Harald Armin Massa[legacy]]

Hi Brandon,

useful search term to put into search engine is "excel object model list of
addins"

You can use this microsoft documentation

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.addins

and translate from VBA within Excel to Python and COM communication

pywin32 is just an interface to COM, and you need information about the
internal structures of Excel.

Cheers

Harald
