I ~know~ whatcha mean!

What would you think of the following:

1. Use MSVC to create a series of "HTML Control" ActiveX thingys 
(one item in the series for each time your boss changes his/her 
mind)--it's relatively easy to play with HTML/JScript.

---

The ActiveXWrapper_IE.py code in the wxPython demo says, "The 
MakeActiveXClass function dynamically builds a new Class on the 
fly, that has the same signature and semantics as wxWindow."

---

2. So host the ActiveX in Python code written with the aid of 
wxPython.

Overall, make C++ code in the ActiveX as simple as possible and 
favour development in Python.

This topic interests me and I'd value your opinion.
