Both you and the COM support are playing attribute games, and not 
agreeing on how the game is played. Can you expose Get methods to 
COM,  and play your games there? That way, COM will find something 
real (a method object), and you can still do lazy evalutaion.

BTW, I find it very helpful to use a separate (wrapper) object:

 class RealWork:
   ...

 class COMRealWorkWrap:
   _public_methods_ = [ ... ]
   def __init__(self, real_obj):
     ...

That also means I can put all my Unicode conversion in one place.
