There's also a lot of demo script code in
D:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\tools\
Search that directory for "GetDlgItem"

> Is it possible to create a COM server in Python that persists even after

> I want to allow a COM client to instantiate my COM server if it is not
> already running. When that client finishes working with the COM server,
> I want the server to persist and wait around for the next client to
> contact it. The server never needs to quit.

> To me, this sounds a lot like using the GetObject function for COM. The
> client calls GetObject and passes the function the name of the server
> class. If the server is running, an instance to that server is returned.
> If the server is not running, it is started and an instance is returned.
>
> Is it possible to use GetObject to retrieve a reference to or start a
> Python COM server? Would this give me a persistent COM server that would
> exist past the lifetime of a client using it?

> Code:

> ie.Visible=1
