Problem with win32com

[Syver Enstad]

I don't know much Python but it looks like the dbEngine variable goes out of
scope and is garbage collected in your second example.

> def fct():
>   from win32com.client import Dispatch
>   dbEngine = Dispatch( "DAO.DBEngine")
>
>   database = dbEngine.OpenDatabase( "c:\temp\essai.mdb")
>   return database

> database = fct()
# dbEngine is no longer referenced by any object in your program here.
> defs = database.TableDefs
