Docstrings in COM

[Stefan Migowsky]

If you want to see the docstring in e.g. VB you have to provide
type information. For this you have to write an IDL file for your
COM Server compile this using the MIDL compiler and include the
resulting TLB file in this in VB via the "Projects\References..."
menu. 

In Python you can use the makepy tool to generate a wrapper which then 
creates a wrapper class with all the definition from the IDL file.
