PythonCom, events, and VB

[Jeff Shannon]

Hi

I'm pretty new to Python, and already wish that I could do all 
my coding in it.  But of course job conditions rarely allow 
that... :)  

I'm trying to write a Python COM server, which will run inside of a 
third-party application's VBA scripting environment.  This in itself is 
no problem, I've read the examples in the pythoncom distro, and the most 
helpful "Python Programming on Win32" book, so creating a COM server is 
no big deal.  The difficult part is that I want to be able to fire events 
from my server.  I've been trying to figure out how to do so by looking 
through ...\pythoncom\demos\connect.py and such, and searching through 
the usenet archives, and I fear that I may be getting totally lost. :)  My
only real experience with COM is through PythonCom/VB, and my c++ is not 
so good, so I'm not following everything.  Could someone give me a quick 
description of what steps I need to take in order to create/use an events 
interface?  I've seen several discussions which dive deep into esoteric 
details that are way beyond me, but no general overview, which is what 
I really need.  

Many grateful thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this....
