VBScript to Python snippet conversion

Question

I'm trying to convert this VBScript code to Python (Win32) code but with no luck!

Dim objMain, objSysInf, stMsg

Set objMain = CreateObject("nnetcom.oMain")

Call objMain.UnlockComponent("xxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xx")

Set objSysInf = CreateObject("nnetcom.oSystemInfo")

Call objSysInf.GetSystemInfos

stMsg = objSysInf.cOsName & " " & objSysInf.cOsType & vbCrLf & _
        objSysInf.cOsCpu & vbCrLf & objSysInf.cOsMem & vbCrLf & _
        objSysInf.cOsGpu

MsgBox stMsg, vbInformation, "System Information"

Set objSysInf = Nothing
Set objMain = Nothing

I'm running Windows 7 32-bit with Python 2.7.3 and Python for Windows Extensions installed. Also I added COM object by executing "makepy.pyc" from ..."Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\" and with no luck, always getting some error message...

Here is my Python code:

import pythoncom
import win32com.client

objMain = win32com.client.Dispach("nnetcom.oMain")

ret = objMain.UnlockComponent("xxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xx")

objSysInf = win32com.client.Dispach("nnetcom.oSystemInfo")

objSysInf.GetSystemInfos()

stMsg = objSysInf.cOsName

print(stMsg)

Is there anybody who can help me with this conversation?

Hi Marcin Here is the error output: C:\>c:\Progra~1\Python\python.exe c:\example2.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\example2.py", line 4, in <module> objMain = win32com.client.Dispach("nnetcom.oMain") AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Dispach' Can you help me out?

Dispach should probably be Dispatch.

Ohh my God, what a Typo I made there!!! :D Its working now, but how to make line breaks and new lines like in my VBScript code posted above? Thanks for helping me out! ;)

You can use the methods of the built-in str type, as well as the common sequence operations to split a string into the required lines. See §5.6 of the documentation of the Python standard library. Put those lines in a list. Then use '\n'.join() (maybe use '\r\n'.join() on Windows) to make a new string that contains the strings from the list, separated by newlines.

By line breaks and new lines I meant, how to write shorter line of code like in my VBScript example, see: stMsg =

You can use the format method of the str object, or concatenate strings using the + operator.

Ah. Use the textwrap module. (see §7.7 of the Python standard library docs)
