Oops, I didn't see the 'call win32com.client' part in the message 
header. =/  I was assuming you wanted to mimick VB-like behavior in 
Python, rather than calling VB stuff from Python. Still, the idea 
applies (well, somewhat ;-)... you can try to write a wrapper class 
which uses a dictionary-like approach to assign to, and read from, 
properties. You'll need __getattr__ and __setattr__ for this though.
Hmm... it's probably best to stick with the other reply I saw. ^_^
