## Python and COM

### Introduction

Python has an excellent interface to COM (also known variously as OLE2, ActiveX, etc).

The Python COM package can be used to interface to almost any COM program (such as the MS-Office suite), write servers that can be hosted by any COM client (such as Visual Basic or C++), and has even been used to provide the core ActiveX Scripting Support.

- Note that win32com is now released in the win32all installation package. The installation EXE can be downloaded, or you can jump to the win32all readme for more details.
- Here is the win32com source code in a zip file.

### Documentation

Preliminary Active Scripting and Debugging documentation is available.

2 Quick-Start guides have been provided, which also contain other links. See the Quick Start for Client side COM and the Quick Start for Server side COM
