[python-win32] pythoncom.new behavior in build 200/201

[Kerry Oliphant]

Has anyone noticed that pythoncom.new does not behave the same as it used
to.
Previously one could pass it something like this:

CLSID = IID('{D5193935-0382-4448-A309-60C38795FB60}')
pythoncom.new( CLSID  )

but in builds 200/201 the above call results in the following error.
TypeError: Only strings and iids can be converted to a CLSID.

pythoncom.new( str(CLSID) ) will work.  It appears the pythoncom.new cannot
handle a pyIID object.


Any thoughts?
