Makepy.py works and generates code for the complete typelib (including
all methods). The generated python file is placed in win32com\gen_py.
By method code I mean code like this:

	def Exit(self):
		"""Exits the application"""
		return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(58, LCID, 1, (24, 0), (),)

With AddTypeLib, the partial code for the typelib is placed in a
subdirectory of win32com\gen_py.With partial I mean that there is no
code generated for the methods.

If i delete the generated files and call AddTypeLib, it always fails.
If I call it when there is generated typelib data available, it works.

Thanks
