Disabling rexec for ActiveScripting in Local Intranet Zone?

[Gerson Kurz]

When you do Client-Side ActiveScripting in Python, you cannot create 
win32com objects. If my understanding is correct, this is caused by rexec() 
limiting what you can do, for security reasons. However, over Client-Side 
Scripting languages such as JScript and VBScript allow you to create 
ActiveX objects, if IEs security settings allow that. Is there some trick 
to allow using ActiveX objects (if security is "properly" configured) for 
the local zone?

The situation is this. I have a C++ written ActiveX object for scripting 
webpages that controls some kind of hardware. I want to be able to write 
test scripts in python, and not in Javascript. Test scripts that are run 
from the command line work just fine, only IE scripts don't, because of  
said limitations. Currently, I have to stick with Javascript for sample 
codes, which is (not surprisingly) a PITA.
