Well, I do get a return value, but not what I expected.....
So, I don't know if this is important.

Right you are.... :

>>> dic = ob.getDictionary()
>>> dir(dic.__class__)
['__doc__', '__module__', '_wrap_dispatch_']
>>> dic.__class__.__module__
'win32com.client'
>>> print dic.__class__.__doc__

    The dynamic class used as a last resort.
    The purpose of this overriding of dynamic.CDispatch is to
perpetuate the policy
    of using the makepy generated wrapper Python class instead of
dynamic.CDispatch
    if/when possible.

...I guess this is not what I wanted to see...?

What is causing these problems?  Is it a "poor" definition in the
COM server that does not give win32com enough information?  Is there
any way working around this?  I do not have access to sources for the
COM server, so if it is responsible for the troubles then I do have
a problem.
