You dont need to do anything special - just call
"win32com.client.Dispatch(prog_id)" and it should work.

Events are much newer, and suffer from even worse documentation than
the rest.  Only docs for events are in docstrings for
win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents() and win32com.client.getevents()

For even more details, check out my 'conferences' starship page and
look for the IPC8 tutorial...
