Hi,

Is it possible to use the RSA API with Python ?

Thanks

Guillaume

Most likely yes (Python supports COM as far as I can see from google).

I tried to import robotOM library with Python, but it looks like the library file as to be a .py file, not a .dll file. Does such a file already exist ? If not, how can I convert the Interop.RobotOM.dll file to a .py file ?

I found the syntax to import and use the API with Python :

import clr
clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath("C:\...\Interop.RobotOM.dll")
import RobotOM as rbt

Then you can call RSA classes as follow :

Robot = rbt.RobotApplication

etc...

It may be usefull for Grasshopper users...
