I have always wondered about this and seen this among lots of programmers. Why is a VB programmer or VB code easily dismissed as too noobish and easy while the same does not apply to Python or Python code? After all, isn't Python as easy as VB is? And it does provide drag-n-drop GUI application building also. So why is it that VB is flamed and yet Python is not?
View 1 RepliesI have a function in vb that is converted to a dll that I want to use in python. However trying to use it, I get an error message this is the VB function
Function DISPLAYNAME(Name)
MsgBox ("Hello " & Name & "!")
End Function
and this is how I call it in python
from ctypes import *
test = windll.TestDLL
print test
print test.DISPLAYNAME("one")
But I get errors so what is the right way of calling the dll
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:Test estdll.py", line 4, in <module>

View 1 RepliesI have an interesting issue I've run into where I can easily tap into python code from VB in an excel instance, as described here: Calling python script from excel/vba.However, when I mimic the exact same code structure in visual studio in a form, the pyscript.language = "python" line fails. Does anyone know if MSScriptControl.ScriptControl can be used in VB .Net to control python like you can in excel? This would be a lot easier than setting up a com object for my python scripts.
Example code (need to add microsoft script control 1.0 and excel object library):

I want to create a (3n*7) Matrix in python through Iteration, I did this in VB.Net and it worked but it gives me some challenge in Python as this a new language to me. n can be the number of Iterations to build up the matrix, i.e. ; if u iterated 3 times, the matrix will be a 9*7 matrix.

I'm writing a python plugin for a geo referencing program called QGIS where I want an Excel sheet to do all my calculations for me. For different data points I need to set certain input values into the spreadsheet (which was already written by someone else). I'm fine setting the int values (using win32com.client) with
sheet.Cells(row, col).Value = value
For radio buttons I would expect it to work like so:
sheet.opt_name.Value = True
But I get the error message:
AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library._Worksheet instance at 0x232878608>' object has no attribute 'opt_name'
What are the options attributes of? How do I set their values?
I'm working on a school project which need to be done in Visual Basic. For this I'm porting one of my Python project in this programming language, project which (in Python) is scanning a directory for .py files and then imports them (dynamically) with the __import__ statement, at runtime. It is possible to do this in Visual Basic with .DLL classes?

I never thought I'd say this, but I am getting pissed at how easy it is to just plop down a variable in python without any declaration. I have an existing python script which interfaces with a server, and it builds its own messages to be communicated via sockets. What I am trying to do is take the command line python script and convert it into a VB GUI app that is more user friendly.

I am trying to run a python script inside a vb.net application, which means executing the code inside vb.net instead of runing it external. The problem is:
I am using MsScriptControl and set the language to "python", I tried to run it and get the error "A script engine for the specified language can not be created". My research has told me i need these keys in my registry. The problem is I cant find them so how to I make them. Or even better a full solution to my problem.
Is is possible to include a python library, which does API authentication, in a VB.NET app? If so how would I do this?

View 4 RepliesI am communicating with a USB-HID device. It will successfully complete hundreds of send-receive requests but occasionally get a Null Exception error.
[Code]...
at the rxData.dataPacket(i) = element I will get a NullReference error every now and then. I could enclose it in a try/catch statement, but I'd like to fix the root problem if possible.This device is communicating to microcontrollers, and it is possible that they won't always give a value... but my feeling is this is some sort of UI threading issue. When debugging, even though there is a null exception, many times there actually does seem to be data in dataReceived.data.ToList(). Is there an easy way to place the whole data processing routine on a thread separate from the UI?Edit: Changed code to match answer and give more info on where it is used. Still get NullReferenceExceptions after about 1,000 completed send/receive requests to the HID device.
I have some really nice Python code to do what I need to do.I don't particularly like any of the Python GUI choices though. wxPython is nice, but for what I need, the speed on resizing,refreshing and dynamically adding controls just isn't there. I would like to create the GUI in VB.NET.I imagine I could use IronPython to link the two,but that creates a dependency on a rather large third-party product. I was perusing the MSDN documentation on Windows IPC and got the idea to use sockets. I copied the Python echo server code from the Python documentation and in under 5 minutes was able to create a client in VB.NET without even reading the System.Net.Sockets documentation, so this certainly doesn't seem too hard.

View 14 RepliesI'm a C++ programming who was tapped to write a small application in Visual Basic. The application hosts an IronPython runtime and I am attempting to define some function in python and then call them from VB. I have written a simple test function in python
def test():
print "Test was Called"
Then I use the iron python to create a ScriptSource from the python file. I am able to look up the "test" variable through object operations but I can not figure out how to call the object that. For example (in VB):
pyScope = engine.CreateScope()
pySource = engine.CreateSourceFromFile("C:SomeFilepath est.py")
pySource.Execute(pyScope)
[Code]....
I am able to call the function and I see the expected output at stdout. I am still under the impression that there is some function-pointer-like type that I can cast objects of type PythonFunction to which will let me invoke temp directly without calling to the Python engine.
