[python-win32] WMI Performance API

[Erik Dahl]

I want to use the WMI Performance API to collect performance  
information from remote boxes.   To do this I need to create a  
WbemScripting. SWbemRefresher object like so:

objRefresher = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemRefresher")

Is CreateObject something that is available from python (I have  
looked around but don't see it).  Or maybe there is another way to do  
the same thing?

As an aside there are other APIs for getting to the performance  
info.  (I know this is a bit off topic) but does anyone know of the  
benefits or drawbacks to the different APIs.  Clearly if I can't make  
my refresher object the WMI API is out.   The Pdh stuff looks usable  
but not sure yet how this can be called remotely...
