Retrieve SAPGUI events with comtypes in Python

Hi all,

I've been trying to get notified by events in SAP in python. For this I wanted to the comtypes module (I cannot use the win32com module). I can retreive the scripting engine of SAP as follows:

import comtypes.client

SapGui = comtypes.client.CoGetObject("SAPGUI").getScriptingEngine

Now I should be able to use comtypes.client.ShowEvents as follows:

comtypes.client.ShowEvents(SapGui)

Which would print out all events of the SapGui. However, I get the following error: "TypeError: cannot determine the source interface", which I am not sure on how to solve. How can I apply ShowEvents (or something similair) while still using comtypes?

Kind regards,

Falko
