Sorry, I forgot who I was talking to. :-) I didn't mean to imply that
ArcView would bestow this benefit on Python. I meant the opposite: Without
Python, ArcView doesn't have any way to deal with COM objects. With Python
(and win32com), it does have a way. So your suggested alternative is
exactly what I meant in the first place!

It is definitely free software. The license will be BSD-style.
