Description:

pyvba 0.6.0

pyvba

The pyvba package was designed to gather data from VBA-based applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel, CATIA, etc.). It may also be used to assist programming VBA macro scripts using the Python language.
Getting Started
Install the Python Package:
pip install pyvba

To export data from a VBA program:
import pyvba

catia = pyvba.Browser("CATIA.Application")
active_document = catia.ActiveDocument

exporter = pyvba.XMLExport(active_document)
exporter.save("output", r"C:\Documents")

The current supported output types are XML and JSON formats. Both support a form the imitates the VBA object tree as well as a dictionary form where each unique object is in the outermost layer.
Example Output:

Note: BrowserObject denotes an object defined elsewhere in the output.
