Hi,
I'm getting the following error trying to instantiate a COM object:
---
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#24>", line 1, in ?
mod.WLXMLWriter()
File "C:\Python22\lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\2F7F6580-4166-4728-B165-361888BBAF93x0x1x0.py", line 26, in __init__
self.__dict__["_dispobj_"] = self.default_interface(oobj)
File "C:\Python22\lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\2F7F6580-4166-4728-B165-361888BBAF93x0x1x0.py", line 32, in __getattr__
d=self.__dict__["_dispobj_"]
KeyError: _dispobj_

The problem seems to be that default_interface isn't defined in the
module generated by makepy, causing a dud call to
CoClassBaseClass.__getattr__ to find it:
---
# This CoClass is known by the name 'WLXML.WLXMLWriter.1'
class WLXMLWriter(CoClassBaseClass): # A CoClass
# WLXMLWriter Class
CLSID = pythoncom.MakeIID("{5625CFA5-A60F-408D-A26D-19D39A58B38D}")
coclass_sources = [
]
coclass_interfaces = [
]
### default_interface = XXX should go here?
---
Is this a bug in win32com or in the COM object?
