COM and CreateObject and inheritence

[tiddlerdeja at my-deja.com]

I managed to get the HelloWorld COM Python example to work using
CreateObject in VB. I could not get a Reference to Python.TestServer so
that I could:

Dim Test and HelloWorld

Instead I had to:

Dim Test As Object

Is it not possible to get a reference to it?

Also, I tried to create my own test:

foo.py
-----

class foo:
    def __init__(self):
        print 'init'

    def bar(self):
        return 99

comfoo.py

from foo import *
class comfoo(foo):
    _reg_clsid_ = "{3F90DE60-D0F5-11D3-96E4-9A059544BB30}"

    _reg_progid_ = "My.Test"

    _reg_desc_ = "COM Test"

    _public_methods_ = ['bar']


    def __init__(self):
        print 'cominit'


When I try to call 'bar' in VB it crashes. comfoo is registered and both
files are in my python path.


Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Any help appreciated.
