[python-win32] Can't access methods of COM object.

[Robert Norman]

I have been successful in the past using COM from Python to control 
ActiveX elements such as LabView programs and a few third-party device 
servers.  I recently tried to integrate a new component  which came with 
a LabView example and some Visual Basic sample code. The LabView example 
works for me and I can examine the methods and  properties of the server 
but I can't seem to do anything with the server from Python.

I can successfully get an instance with:

 >>>ps = Dispatch("PPServer.PPServerClass")
 >>>ps
<win32com.gen_py.PPServer 1.0 Type Library.IPPServerClass instance at 
0x20239664>
 >>>cha = ps.ChannelA <--- Fails

and none of the expected methods or properties are exposed except those 
seen in the attached genpy file.

The VB example shows:

     Set pps = New PServer
     cha = pps.ChannelA

I've tried various combinations, in Python, of ps.ChannelA, ps.Start() 
etc and none of the documented methods or properties seem to work.

Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Thanks
Rob
