Do you mean totally general case?  I don't think there is a general case
solution, because there's no general case way to decide which
interpretation is correct.  My suggested hack-around works for your
specific case, and it may be that's the best you can do.

I'd love to have Mark Hammond take a whack at this.  He's really the
PythonCom expert.

I don't think you should be afraid to mess with the pywin32 code.  One
of the huge benefits of Python is that you HAVE the library source
code.  You can save away the original and make changes -- with enough
debug prints to swamp a large boat -- and if your experiments don't
help, go back to the original, no harm done.  And if they DO help, well
now you have something to contribute to the community.
