I think the first line of the tutorial sums it up nicely:
"Last Updated 4 June 1997 9:00 a.m."

The ni module has not been used for a while now. I beleive it's use was
required pre 1.5 to enable package importing....or something like that.

I would reccommend find a more upto date tutorial on Python and COM.
e.g. the docs that come with Pythonwin, Mark Hammonds book - "Python
Programming on win32" - ISBN: 1565926218, Mark's starship page also has
links to sample code tutorials etc:

Hope that helps.
