Python cannot do "out" parameters at all.  In the win32com world, when a
call has one "in" and one "out" parameter, instead of this:
    status = function( in, out )
it gets written like this:
    (status, out) = function( in )

There are some cases when the win32com machinery can't detect that, but
usually it works.  Give that a shot.
