AFAIK, the only thing you have to do on the client machine is register the
DCOM object.  If the object is running on your client, then it's registered.
You don't run dcomcnfg on the client--you run it on the server.

In my client applications (VB and ACCESS, for the most part) I include the
second parameter servername when I instantiate the object.

Set PythonObject = CreateObject("PythonProgram.PythonClass","SrvrName")
