[python-win32] Dynamic dispatching and AttributeErrors,

Thanks for the response Mark.  My results inline below:

 mod = win32com.gencache.EnsureModule(...)

I am calling a method listed in the gen_py file so I am not sure how the
attribute could not exist (I was careful about capitalization.  I can
post/send a very abbreviated version of this file (just the wrapper stuff
and a single method) if it would help.

Thanks!
