Just a comment: My current, temporary, Python environment is very basic, 
only Python 2.5.1, pywin32 v. 210 and wmi.py v. 1.3 on a WinXP SP2 
laptop. I have not run makepy on any type libraries. Should I do this, 
and in that case on which library? Most of my work related python 
programming has to do with administrating a Windows 2003 domain.
