COM Event Sinks and Connection Points in Python

[Martin Bertolino]

Some of COM features (especially when running in a Single Threaded Apartment
(STA)) depend on the application having an event loop. I have not looked at
the sources for PythonWin, but I have looked at the Python ones, and I did
not see any event loop servicing the event queue. This would explain why you
don't see the fired events.
