win32com/makepy question

| It seems in COM late binding is something that should be

| makepy fire automagically when you need it.

I (nearly) always use win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch. There
are a few occasions when it refuses to play, and then I'm back to
Dispatch.

<code>
import win32com.client

word = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch ("Word.Application")
#
# does the same as Dispatch ("Word.Application") but does
#  the makepy stuff first if it needs to.
#
