PythonCOM and --debug

[Jesper Eskilson]

Hi!

Consider a PythonCOM server implemented as follows:

--- [ cut ] ---

from win32com import universal
from win32com.client import constants
from win32com.client import gencache
from win32com.server.exception import COMException
import win32com.server.register
import winerror

universal.RegisterInterfaces('{1A223A5B-3A79-41DA-A746-639C79B5C397}', 0, 1, 0, ["FooServer"])

class FooServer:
    _com_interfaces_ = ['FooServer']
    _reg_clsid_ = "{FADA3D76-8525-4A51-876A-1EB39B968F04}"
    _reg_progid_ = "My.FooServer"

    _reg_desc_ = "FooServer"
    
    _public_methods_ = ['PublicMethod']

    def PublicMethod(self):
        return winerror.E_NOTIMPL

if __name__ == '__main__':
    win32com.server.register.UseCommandLine(FooServer)

--- [ cut ] ---

When I register this server with the --debug option, the client which needs
to talk to the server fails to connect and gets HRESULT=0x80004002. If I
don't register using the --debug option, the client can connect ok.

Any clues as to what the --debug option does to make the client fail to
connect?

Unfortunately, I don't have the source code to the COM-client; it's a third
unreleased third-party product.

Thanks,

/Jesper
