In general, you don't need to do anything - the code calling your object 
can simply pass a COM object, and your Python code will get it.

However, you will generally get a "raw" dispatch pointer.  You generally 
want to wrap it up in a nice Dispatch object.  Something like:

   def foo(self, bar):
     # bar is a "<PyIDispatch object at xxx>"
     bar = win32com.client.Dispatch(bar) # Now a usable object
