I'd be interested in the answer to that, too.  Surely COM must be in
there somewhere?  This is the wrong newsgroup to find out, though.
Actually, I'm sure I googled on this a while ago, and found something
somewhere that implied that that is the case -- but I've never seen
any reference to people actually using it, let alone any support from
win32all (which I presume would be a big job).

Maybe one of the lightweight things with COM support like ctypes
(IIRC) might help??
