Difference between Dispatch and DispatchEX

Aug 16th, 2006

Could anybody tell me the difference between Dispatch and DispatchEx.
I am new to python and extremely confused about the usage of the two methods.

I could find DispatchEx neither in the python documentation nor in the docs to PythonWin. Must be from some other module You are using.

I am using the win32com.client.Dispatch and the win32com.client.DispatchEx.These are methods found in the win32 extension of python.
