Python - Get list of all attributes/properties of a win32com class

Question

I am a newbie in Python. I have to extract emails from Outlook and get all attributes/properties of the emails.

Retrieving properties one by one, for the attributes/properties that I know they exist works fine (.Subject, .Body, etc.).

But, I need to get all possible attributes. That's where my problem is. I have been looking for hours, the only answers I found were using:

• vars()
• dir()
• inspect.getmembers(obj)
• __dict__
• etc.

Which does not give me the list of properties like:

• .Subject
• .Body
• .SentOn
• etc.

Could someone help ?

Here is the extract of my test Notebook :

####### Retrieve email from Outlook #######
import win32com.client
objOutlookMAPI=win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
​    
​### Define folder
objOlFolder = objOutlookMAPI.GetDefaultFolder(6)

​### Retrieve ant print email
objOlMessages = objOlFolder.Items
​
# objMessage : class 'win32com.client.CDispatch'
objMessage = objOlMessages.GetLast()
print(objMessage.Subject)

vars(objMessage)

    dir(objMessage)
    #import inspect
    #inspect.getmembers(objMessage)

Answer 1

For posterity here, I found what I needed in the AppointmentItem object on this page:

Outlook Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) reference

Just expand that object on the left side of the page, and then expand properties. Found everything I needed there. Also a MeetingItem object, still in the process of figuring out the difference (which sounds like it's obvious, but a lot of the appointments I'm getting back are actually meetings (i.e. have attendees).
