[python-win32] Newbie question - how do I use the constantsgenerated by makepy?

[Jens B. Jorgensen]

Constants are a bit of a problm in COM because in point of fact they 
have nothing to do with the COM interface per se. COM constants are 
actually laid out in type libraries. If you're run makepy.py and 
selected the correct type library then when you create an instance of 
that object then the constant you are after is in:

win32com.client.constants.adUseClient
