Unfortunately you aren't.  Many of the Python implemented modules 
(including win32com) have reasonable docstrings, but they aren't 
integrated into the doc build process - ironically the C++ code has more 
regularly formatted help text thanks to the autoduck markup, so 
generated reasonable info.  There is *some* support for extracting via 
docstrings (eg, docs on the 'isapi' package), but win32com etc predate 
that by a long way and would almost certainly need some docstring 
cleanups for that to be reasonable (help appreciated ;).  For now, 
help(module.function) might work...
