I think the question is not really VirtualBox OSE related but I don't know where else to post it:
I would like to connect with python to virtualbox but on my computer the VirtualBOX SDK examples (using mscom) do not work.
I get the following error message:
C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox\sdk\bindings\mscom\python\samples>vboxshell.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox\sdk\bindings\mscom\python\samples\vboxshell.py", line 42, in <module>
'remote':False, 'perf':PerfCollector(vbox) }
NameError: name 'PerfCollector' is not defined
I have changed the vboxshell.py script line 26 from "from shellcommon import interpret" to "from shellcommon import *" but I still get error messages
C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox\sdk\bindings\mscom\python\samples>vboxshell.py

r)
AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.VirtualBox Type Library.IVirtualBox instance at 0x12539904>' object has no attribute 'performanceCollector'
I do not understand why IVirtualBox gives an error message when accessing performanceCollector.
Could you please give me some help and explain me how I can make the SDK sample work?
Many thanks,
Kandinsky
