[python-win32] Referring to default (unnamed) property

[Andreas Holtz]

Hi £ukasz,

when you use a COM-Interface via VB for example things like

foo.bar(0) = "foo"

are possible (as I just read these are properties).

In Python this syntax is not working. Instead, getters and setters are generated by PyWin.
I guess somewhere (probably in the files generated by Dispatch)
do.vars[param]
is implemented as
do.vars.Get(param)

Regards

Andreas

PS: Feel free to correct me, if I am wrong.
