I'm still stuck. Please look at following code snippet.
I tried to reduce it to the absolute minimum.
running under WinXP and python 2.6.4


import win32com.client,pythoncom,time

defaultNamedNotOptArg=pythoncom.Empty
wiaEventDeviceConnected       =u'{A28BBADE-64B6-11D2-
A231-00C04FA31809}' # from enum EventID

class MgrHandlerClass: # doesn't work either
    def OnEvent(self, EventID=defaultNamedNotOptArg,
DeviceID=defaultNamedNotOptArg, ItemID=defaultNamedNotOptArg):
        print "Called back with ..."

manager = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents("WIA.DeviceManager",
MgrHandlerClass)
manager.RegisterEvent(EventID=wiaEventDeviceConnected,DeviceID=u'*')

while True:
    print "sleep"
    time.sleep(10)

When I plug / unplug a USB WIA device nothing shows up.
My C# implementation prints messages on wiaEventDeviceConnected /
wiaEventDeviceDisconnected events if I register them.

What am I missing?

Should MgrHandlerClass inherit from some kind of default class?
