Now I get the following error:
"TypeError: This COM object can not automate the makepy process -
please run makepy manually for this object"

When I try to use a method (with args as values) listed in the COM
browser, it works, but the class in the generated source contains no
methods:

# This CoClass is known by the name 'CorelDraw.Automation.7'
class CDrawAutomate(CoClassBaseClass): # A CoClass
	CLSID = pythoncom.MakeIID("{F1ABEC21-2037-11CF-AB99-00C0F00683EB}")
	coclass_sources = [
	]
	coclass_interfaces = [
		'{07D2C782-8802-11CF-AB9D-00C0F00683EB}',
	]
	default_interface = '{07D2C782-8802-11CF-AB9D-00C0F00683EB}'

Other suggestions?

Thanks in advice,
Levi
