[python-win32] creating a long-running Python COM server

[David Goodger]

I'm trying to figure out how to create a COM server as part of a
Python GUI app, such that an Excel client can connect to the *already
running* instance of the server in the app. IOW, I want Excel to talk
to the existing Python process, and not start a new one.

BTW, I know very little about win32com; please excuse any mistakes in
terminology. I have a copy of the "Python Programming on Win32" book
[1], and searched the web and the python-win32 archives, but I am
unable to find the information I need.

Any pointers (page nos, URLs, example code)? Thanks.

[1] A borrowed copy; I can't get one of my own (Amazon.ca can't find
me one). Does anyone know of a new edition any time soon?
