[python-win32] in-process COM DLL in Python

[Mark Hammond]

You should be able to wrap a Person object - something like ob = 
win32com.server.util.wrap(Person(...)) - and just return that. You 
probably don't need the VARIANT dance, it should just work based on the 
type returned being a Dispatch wrapper.

HTH,

Mark
