[python-win32] Passing IDispatch from a C program to Python -- Is it possible?

[Finn Bragason]

Thanks for quick response Mark.
Can you give me some more info on how to use the pythoncomxx.dll (an
example would be great).
Thanks,
Fin

If you link to pythoncomxx.dll, you can use any of the functions in
pythoncom.h specifically for this purpose.
