Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python22\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py",
line 434, in EnsureDispatch
    disp_class = CLSIDToClass.GetClass(str(disp_clsid))
  File "C:\PROGRA~1\Python22\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\CLSIDToClass.py",

    return mapCLSIDToClass[clsid]
