This is because docs.CloseAll is making the call, and returning an int. 
  This, docs.CloseAll() is attempting to call that int.

It looks very much like you have no makepy support for MSVC built.

Just after the line:
app = win32com.client.Dispatch('MSDev.Application')
Try adding:
app = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch(app)

That should force makepy, and everything should start working.
