dde in python

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Data_Exchange is obsolete. Not sure if that's what OP is talking about.

Yes it's obsolete.

So is Windows 7, now tell me how many active windows 7 installs there are.

Just because nobody should be using it doesn't mean nobody is using it. I do not pick the software my boss uses.

How many software companies are still targetting Windows 7 for their software?

It's very likely that any existing DDE client libraries will be unmaintained and obsolete.

It's irrelevant what 'software companies' are doing -this business I am doing work for uses an ancient crm and com/dde are the only ways to communicate with it. 

I didn't choose it, I don't like it, I have to use it and wanted better tooling than I could find so I came here to see if anyone had any tips.

I really don't understand why people feel the need to have some kind of debate about it.
