I have tried that - although without a window (note pythoncom exposes enough
to run a message loop - win32event an even better one :)

Also tried running within Pythonwin (so it has a window), but not as a
control - still didnt work.  Seemed to need some of the control container
plumbing to be in place.

Dont think I tried all of the threading models tho...
