[python-win32] win32com and COM-dynamic-server

[Mark Hammond]

When Python code does:

obj.foo(1)

On a COM object that has no makepy support, Python will first query the
object if it has a *property* named 'foo' before it asks if it has a
*method* named foo.  I suspect you are seeing this.  To work correctly in
this case, Python will be expecting the property reference to fail (so it
can determine it is indeed a method)

The wFlags param of that call indicates if it is a property or method
reference.  If it does turn out to be a property reference, there will be no
args passed.

Have a look at page 220 - it has an example of _dynamic_ checking wFlags.
