Same here. Our COM object worked fine through VB.

We did get some oddities running PythonCOM through Rational's Purify: I
don't have the results any more, but I seem to remember there was internal
memory corruption somewhere. Not being a COM kind of person, I found an
easier solution by removing PythonCOM from the project entirely, and going
via an extension module instead.
