This is important.  As I understand it, without a type library, pythoncom
has no way of knowing which params are [out] params.  Since Python doesn't
have reference semantics like those of C++ or Visual Basic, it cannot use
[out] params in the "normal" way.  So if you're using an interface that
makes use of [out] params, you *need* the type library in order to be able
to use it from Python.  If you're not sure whether you've got one, try
Makepy, as suggested...
