What environment is this being run in?  The only way I could see this 
being set to None externally is if Python itself is in the process of 
shutting down.  There is nothing in win32com that will prevent Python 
terminating while COM objects are alive, so there is the potential that 
an external program tries to call back into Python during shutdown.  I 
can't see how this could happen using Python.exe though.

It is certainly nothing that has been reported before.

Mark.
