Makepy.py output (fragment, for information about the Object)

	CLSID = IID('{F2DC9B8B-3ACE-4AD1-A863-2321C60220AB}')

True

I tried, here is the result:
-----------------------------------
>>> rep = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('EA.Repository')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line
543, in EnsureDispatch
    raise TypeError, "This COM object can not automate the makepy process -
please run makepy manually for this object"
TypeError: This COM object can not automate the makepy process - please run
makepy manually for this object

Thanks again,
