[python-win32] COM Base Class and derived classes

[Tibor Arpas]

Hi,
I'm new to both python and COM. I try to use the win32com.client. Many
things work like a charm, but I bumped into following problem. The COM
server has following hierarchy of types:

Component (Base class)
-----Folder
-----Drawing
-----Image
-----Form
-----Script
----- ......

The components are stored in a collection. When I try to access specific
component in my script I'm always getting the instance of "Component".

>>> s.Document.ComponentSet['MyDrawing']
....  instance of Component ......


When I try the same thing in IronPython (the COM component has also .NET
interface and I use the clr library from IronPython), I get the specific
type. This confirms that at least some of my assumptions are right.
 >>>s.Document.ComponentSet["MyDrawing"]
<DrawingClass object at 0x0000000000000031>

Can anybody give some pointers where to look and what to check?
Regards,
Tibor
