There's no way to do this with the automatic translation.  You will
either have to dig in to the comtypes module, which works at a lower level:
    http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/comtypes/
or use a separate C routine to bridge between the two.

There's a spec for COM IDispatch objects that allows a rather narrow
subset of the vast range of possible types.  Your object doesn't follow
that spec, so you need to take extraordinary steps.
