[python-win32] Error 'Member not found' in Word.Basic automation

[Andrew Z]

I would like to automate Word 95 through 2007 using Word.Basic. The code
works fine on Windows XP + Word 95, but it fails on Windows XP + Word
2007.

Code:
 import win32com.client
 app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Word.Basic")
 app.AppShow()


Error:
 File "<COMObject Word.Basic>", line 2, in AppShow
 pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352573, 'Member not found.', None, None)


Also, the equivalent code works fine in Word 2007 with Windows Scripting
Host (VBS).
 Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
 objWord.AppShow()
