Problem setting COM property using win32com

[Paul Prescod]

I don't know why that's happening, but I would suggest you take more 
control of the instantiation by doing something like this:

from win32com.client.gencache import EnsureModule
MyModule = EnsureModule('{3BBEE982-742B-11D2-BD0A-00A024C36143}', 0, 1, 0)

reclist = MyModule.SmRecList()

In my recent COM project, I used the "dispatch" mechanism and pythoncom 
was smart enough to pick up my gen_py'd module. But the mechanism above 
is fine too. In fact, it is probably better by virtue of being more 
explicit...
