Passing an object from VB using Microsoft's Script Control to python

[Max Barry]

I am trying to run Python using Microsoft's Script Control in VB and when I
pass a Scripting.Dictionary as an object, I cannot access Items(), Count()
or Keys().  I can't even get to a item using its key value.  The following
error is displayed when trying to access the dictionary:

Unexpected Python Error: pywintypes.com_error:(-2147467263, 'Not
implemented', None, None)(Python COM Server Internal Error)


I have added some sample code below:

VB6 Code:
Dim mydic as Object
Set mydic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

'fill with some values.
For i = 1 To 10
	mydic.Add "item" & i, "object " & i
Next

Set mSct = New ScriptControl
mSct.Language = "Python"
mSct.Timeout = 20000 ' 20 seconds

'This is where the dictionary that gets passed to the python script
mSct.AddObject "mdict", mydic
With fso.OpenTextFile("dicttest.py")
	mSct.AddCode .ReadAll
End With
mSct.CodeObject.Initialize
Set mSct = Nothing

Python code (dictest.py):
def Initialize():
    import pywintypes
    from tempfile import gettempdir
    import os import path
    outfilename = "testcontrol.txt"
    outfilepath = path.join(gettempdir(), outfilename)
    filout = open(outfilepath, 'w+')
    filout.write("THIS IS A TEST FILE FOR SCRIPT CONTROL\n")
    filout.write ("Dictionary Count: " + mdict.count) # write dictionary
count to testcontrol.txt in temp directory.
    filout.close

#END OF SAMPLE

Any ideas on how I can make this work?
