I have started writing an add-in. Its a bit tricky to add to
Pythoncom, because 

a) there is no typelib (at least no typelib I know of), even though
the stuff is IDispatch-derived.
b) Objects are not created; instead the DLL gets passed a pointer to
the main IApplication object.

I'm doing this: a DevStudio Extension DLL that at the same time
exposes a Python Extension (so it can be import-ed) that returns the
DevStudio object via callback. 

I hope to have a working draft ready by next week.
