[python-win32] Forcing win32com.client.dispatch to start up a fresh Excel

[Tom_RobbinsMilne@swissre.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Python's win32com interface to drive an excel 
spreadsheet.

I've managed to have it open the sheet, call a VBA function with 
arguments, and close it down cleanly.

However, if Excel is already running, it closes the open instance. Which 
is not good.

Is there a way I can do the equivalent of VBA's CreateObject() with 
win32com? I have purchased "Python Programming on Win32", and can't find 
anything.

Soon I'll be reduced to running a short Perl script to do it, where I'd 
have Python kick off the Perl to get the job done, but I'd like to avoid 
that if possible.

Thanks very much in advance.

Regards,
Tom
