Umm - yes and no :)
Technically, yes. Everything needed has been exposed, and indeed some
"concept" code has been done.
Practically, the answer is no - there is no way to take a class
definition and magically have a typelib pop out.
This was discussed quite some time ago (10/99 and earlier) on the
pythoncom developers list -
http://mailman.pythonpros.com/mailman/listinfo/pycom-dev. It never went
anywhere as no one came up with anything reasonable and, to be quite
honest, I don't care enough about this particular issue as it has never
affected me. I am however very happy to support any efforts to get this
off the ground again.
Mark.
