It gives an error as Python isn't able to import the model pythonwsc - 
probably because pythonwsc.py isn't on sys.path.  Note that sys.path 
doesn't include the directory where a .asp file lives - you probably 
need to manually add this path to sys.path - either explicitly in code, 
via a global PYTHONPATH env var, or via the registry.

Nope - win32com doesn't know how to return module objects to vbscript, 
which would be required for this to work.
