Itunes sdk help

Question

I'm not a com programmer by any stretch of the imagination. I'm looking to create (javascript, windows scripting, perl, python, whatever) a simple script that will set the rating of the currently playing track. For my purposes, I can hard code the rating into the script as I will execute it with AutoHotKey and just create a seperate script for each rating.
Can any of you scripting wizards out there give me a hint of how this would be done? I'm guessing it's only a couple of lines.

You're right. I just tried it in VBS and it works fine. I was working in python and it shows up as not object has no attribute. So it's definitely something funky I'm doing in Python.
Back to the drawing board
import win32com.client
iTunes = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("iTunes.Application")
curr = iTunes.CurrentTrack
name = curr.Name
skipped = curr.SkippedCount
skipdate = curr.SkippedDate
print name
print skipped
print skipdate
Traceback (most recent call last):
