COM server / COM client

[Dan]

Does the COM server created with python have to be compiled? I have the
need to integrate database access but, I can not have any proprietary
software. Meaning no compiled programs built by me. So, if python can
do com clients and servers without compiling, Im good. But I don't know
if that is possible. The ctypes example implies that it must be
compiled using py2exe. I know the clients don't have to be compiled.
What about the server?
