Accessing secondary COM interface with win32com

[Mark Hammond]

Im not sure what you are asking.

If you need to use custom COM interfaces defined by your app, then you
are out of luck.  You will need to get down at the C level (although
we have tools that will help generate the code).

If you simply want to use a different IDispatch interface from an
object - you should be able to do something like:

old_interface = win32com.client.Dispatch(Your.App")
module = gencache.GetModuleForProgID("Your.App")
new_interface = module.NewInterfaceName(old_interface)
