It should :(  The Excel etc demos all work fine with very similar 
constructs.  You could try:

    return 1==1

which due to an implementation detail will ensure that a VT_BOOL is 
returned - however, this should not be necessary.

So no real clue I am afraid :(  If I could repro the error, I could 
probably determine the problem.

Well, the Ctrl+C key is being hit _before_ Python code is entered.  In 
this case we possibly do _not_ want Python to handle the exception - for 
all we know, the object itself has handled the Ctrl+C key, and is 
calling back into Python to handle it.

Mark.
