[python-win32] com server running in taskbar

[Janez Jere]

Hello com masters,

I want to know if it is possible to implement a com server, which will
not just start automatically via pythonw, but will be part of larger
application. For example:
there should be a gui application macro.py (like
win32\demos\win32gui_taskbar.py), which among other things serves com
objects (SanMacro).

I implemented simple com server, which is working fine except:
 - it is terminated when last reference of SanMacro is released
 - it is not working as taskbar app

is it possible to make a server a taskbar app, which will not terminate
after last instance of SanMacto will be deleted?

Thanks in advance

Janez
