How can I get the factset api?

I had seen the python win32uiole, but the "AfxOleGetMessageFilter"
function is in MFC library.
And I won't use MFC library because I don't have MFC library
and Ruby source does not depend on MFC.
So I'd like to implement the python equivalent function
without MFC(AfxOleGetMessageFilter).
But I don't know how to implement it now.
I need the sample script which occurs the problem in order
to investigate how to implement it without MFC.
And If I could implement it, I would need the sample script to check
my implementation is correct or not.
