How do I access arcobjects from python?

Recipe

1. Download and install WinSDk and Visual Studio.
2. Unpack Mark's package somewhere
3. Edit DemoTool.idl if necessary (e.g. path to esriSystemUI.olb)
4. Open the WinSDK CMD shell and run midl DemoTool.idl (creates DemoTool.tbl needed for registering COM objects)
5. Register the com objects with python DemoTool.py -regserver

You are now ready to access arcobjects with python:

from Snippets import GetLibPath, InitStandalone 
from comtypes.client import GetModule, CreateObject 
m = GetModule(GetLibPath() + "esriGeometry.olb") 
InitStandalone() 
p = CreateObject(m.Point, interface=m.IPoint) 
p.PutCoords(2,3) 
print p.X, p.Y
