win32com: subclass a com object?

[Bruce Dodson]

COM is not simpler in Python than it is in VB, if by COM you mean ActiveX
automation.  That is VB's native format for objects, whereas in Python it is
just that the language is flexible enough to make it seem native.  However,
sometimes Python makes it easier to implement some piece of functionality
than it would be in VB.  Python has a richer standard library of its own
plus access to VB's libraries through COM.  And the language is more
flexible yet than VB.  The two languages are about equally quirky.  VB is a
good language to know alongside Python.  If you were on a budget or were
passively anti-microsoft, Python would be a good choice for COM development.
