[python-win32] Problem to call COM-dynamic-server

[Mark Hammond]

I'm afraid that without working code I can only guess...

That looks like your COM server has a method with the same name as a
property.

That simply means that px.word___version is already unicode, but you are
trying to call it.

Yep - but I'm afraid you haven't provided enough technical context though
(at least for my time-starved email life :)  Please post the complete source
for the *smallest possible* server and client that demonstrates your
problem...
