I've had problems with these constants differing between versions
before, so I don't recommend hard coding them. (This was in Word
rather than Excel, AFAICR, but if Bill can do it to us once, he can do
it to us twice.) Luckily, you can use the constants by name:

PythonWin 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32.

>>> import win32com.client
>>> excel = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Excel.Application")
>>> win32com.client.constants.xlRight
-4152
