COM interfaces and inheritance

[Rob Sykes]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with a (3rd party) IDispatch interface

The problem can be summarised thus: I have two classes, one
inheriting from the other.

class foo():
    	pass

class bar(foo):
    	self.stuff = 7


I need to create a new bar object but the 3rd party interface gives
me a method which returns foo objects

newBar = CreateFoo() # newBar should be a bar but CreateFoo returns
                     # a foo

I'm struggling with the upcasting(?) - in Delphi there is

newBar := CreateFoo() as bar

What is the Python equivalent ?

Cheers
