Empirically, the best way to do this (for me, at least) is to Google for
examples.  There are a few simple rules to learn on how to map the Visual
Basic and C++ COM examples you typically find into Python equivalents. Once
you've seen them once, it becomes pretty natural.

There are a few more esoteric topics (like indexed properties) that require
more exploration, and the pywin32 mailing list is absolutely invaluable for
those occasions.
