Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to port a Python Windows app (based on COM and Pywin32) to Mac. The app launches an instance of Word (you can use Pages), does some monitoring and writes back to an XML file. PM me for more details.

I've had experience using the Python's COM lib to launch a Word Document, feed it data from an XML file, and then save the resulting document. I'm confident that I will be able to help you with this project.

Hello, my knowledge in COM and Pywin32 is not good. I watched a tutorial today to see what it was about. I have some knowledge in Python. but.. all this is not what matters i believe because I'm very familiar with everything OS X. I have made iWork and Office scrips (Applescript) in the past. My main line of development is with OS X and the Cocoa Frameworks. So that part i do know well. Now, I'm unsure it Cocoa might be overkill for this.. maybe scripting is enough? Step 1 (Starting app) and 3 (XML output) are pretty easy but no: 2 (Monitoring?).. i'm unsure as what you're referring too, please elaborate. If you're talking about reading some values in some tables and such it will present no problems. i think i should have no problem porting your app to either a script or a pure cocoa app. btw. I'm new to freelancer so to have any chance of winning projects i need to bid low. win-win as one might say. please let me know if you have any questions, or would care to elaborate on the actual meaning of the monitoring step. I hope to work on this compelling project Sincerely John.

Hi there, I have some experience with python programming, as well as porting application using WINE, WINEBOTTLER, and WINESKIN. If your application is bundled as a .exe I would most likely use one of those programs to get it to work, however, if it is a .py (or if you can provide a .py version) I could use py2app, to get a workable native mac app. I look forward to working with you!

A python expert having expertise in working with XML ,JSON , HTML data in different OS set ups such as Mac, Win,Linux. And also since this would be my first project , I am more eager to feel the experience as freelancer for the first time ( during my 7.5 yrs of exp , I never worked as a freelancer ) than getting paid higher/lower ....:)
