Not half! The fact that I am a relative ignoramus in matters
 of COM / OLE / whatever-the-hell-it's-called-this-week means
 that translating the examples from VB-esque languages into Python
 is a suck-it-and-see process for me.

[... snip example of creating notepad ...]

Thanks for the clear example; I've managed to add a small
 bolt-on to my WMI module which lets me create a new
 instance of a WMI class on which I can then call the Create
 method. And it works (on the local machine). But it won't then
 let me call Terminate on it (or GetOwner, or anything else).
So that's got me beat.

There's too much to WMI. It's great and it solves loads of problems
 which would otherwise require all sorts of specialist plumbing.
 But there's too much to it and there's too many ways to do it.

Well it helped me.
