Re: Accessing file metadata on windows XP

When rightclicking a, for example, pdf file on windows, one normally
gets a screen with three or four tags. Clicking on one of the summary
tag one can get some info like "title", "Author", "category", "keyword"
etc..

My question is how can I programmatically read and change these data
with python. I know I should use Hammond's win32 extension, somehow
involving the pythoncom, storagecon of win32com etc.. Unfortunately,
so far I cannot get anything useful. Instead of trying blindly, would
somebody please points me to the correct direction. A little snippet
would help. I am particular interested in pdf files.


See \win32com\test\testStorage.py for an example of using
the storage interfaces to read and write document summary
info.
