keep a local COM Server alive

[xeoicq at netscape.net]

I wrote a COM server in Python where all the clients use the same
global object(test_obj). So far it works, but when the last client is
closed the Python COM enviornment is closed and the global object is
lost. How can I prevent that?
I need that new clients use the same global object and not a new
created one. I figured out a workaround, but there must be another
solution.

The code looks like:

class test:
    .....

test_obj=test()

class test_f:
    _reg_clsid_ = ...
    _reg_progid_ = "test.cl"
    _reg_clsctx_ = pythoncom.CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER
    _public_methods_ = ...


    def __init__(self):
         self.delegate=test_obj
         .....
    .....
    .....
