Well according to build.py:
		# This is not the best solution, but I dont think there is
		# one without specific "set" syntax.
		# If there is a single PUT or PUTREF, it will function as a
property.
		# If there are both, then the PUT remains a property, and
the PUTREF
		# gets transformed into a function.
		# (in vb, PUT=="obj=other_obj", PUTREF="set obj=other_obj
So, something like the following might work since, ActiveConnection does
have a put and a putref functions:
rs.SetActiveConnection(None) 

This code in Python
rs.ActiveConnection = None 
Has the bogus VB equivalent of:
rs.ActiveConnection = Nothing 
(i.e. no Set)

The PUT vs. PUTREF distinction royally sucks.
