folks, hi, i have a rather intriguing issue i'd like to look at, which takes quite a bit of explaining as to why i'd like to go about it - if people are interested i can answer that, but for now i'll leave it at this: how, under linux, would i go about making an application that made _use_ of MSHTML.DLL's functionality, via its COM / DCE/RPC / MSRPC interface? in other words, if you are familiar with gecko / XUL, how would i go about making a gecko / XUL style of application, using MSHTML as the basis, and, once that was achieved, would it stand a chance of successfully running under vanilla windows, using MS's own version of MSHTML? yes i _am_ fully aware that, underneath, according to the wiki page on mshtml's implementation, mshtml underneath uses Gecko - but i don't _want_ to use the Gecko / XUL interface (mostly because it already exists! i don't like challenges that have already been done :) specifically, i'd _really_ like to have python bindings to the COM bindings to MSHTML - all under linux. so there are some _really_ weird esoteric "sub-questions" involved, such as: "what are the chances of porting pywin32 - specifically pywin32's COM bindings - to linux, thanks to widl and friends"? see http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32 many thanks for any advice and information. l.
