In fact, if a static wrapper has been built for the object
in question, the usual help (), inspect () stuff will
work, eg:

<code>
import win32com.client

#
# Make sure a proxy module is built behind-the-scenes
#
word = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch ("Word.Application")

help (word.__class__)

</code>

class _Application(win32com.client.DispatchBaseClass)
 |  Methods defined here:
 |
 |  Activate(self)
 |
 |  AddAddress(self, TagID=<PyOleEmpty object>, Value=<PyOleEmpty
object>)
 |
 |  AutomaticChange(self)
 |
 |  BuildKeyCode(self, Arg1=<PyOleEmpty object>, Arg2=<PyOleEmpty
object>, Arg3=<PyOleEmpty object>, Arg4=<PyOleEmpty object>)
 |
 |  CentimetersToPoints(self, Centimeters=<PyOleEmpty object>)
 |
 |  ChangeFileOpenDirectory(self, Path=<PyOleEmpty object>)
 |
 |  CheckGrammar(self, String=<PyOleEmpty object>)

The only thing is that you can't always build a proxy
module. I'm never quite sure why or why not.
