I found an okay solution.

Make your python com object just as you use to, but:

Make the class variable _public_methods_ empty, like this.
_public_methods = []

Make a class variable _dispid_to_func_ that is a dictionary mapping dispids
to function names. Like this:
    _dispid_to_func_ = {0x1:'Dummy', 0x2:'Swear'}

If you want to implement a dispinterface from a typelibrary/idl file adjust
the _dispid_to_func_ dictionary so it matches the idl.
