There has been a fairly high level of thought about this, at least on
my part. Automating the python interpreter is very simple ( or at
least very simple by the standards of OLE! ), but extending the
language itself to allow access to other OLE automation ( or even
controls ) is much more involved. I don't think anyone is working on
Win 3.1 extensions very seriously but I think the work being done on
NT ( and Win95 ) should yield an interpreter that could at least be
extended to provide such support in a straightforward manner.
