[python-win32] Re: win32com, pythoncom

>From looking at the idl files in the sdk, all the interfaces are based
on IDispatch, so this should be doable.
To create a com server, you use a class that implements the
methods of the interface and register it with your guid and
the IID of the interface it represents.
See the Quick start to server side COM in Pywin32.chm
for details.
