Sorry - I don't seem to have made myself clear. The COM object is
happily working as an out-of process server but I need a way of
passing to it the location of a function written in Python script so
that the script can service an event originating in the COM. Were I
doing this all in C++, for example, I would be passing to the COM
object a pointer to my external (client) function. Writing this in
Python, however, I can't see how to do this.
