[python-win32] Memory Consumption when running Python COM Script

That is not expected.  _make_method_ stores a copy of the method in
self._builtMethods_ (line 309).  A further __getattr__ for that name should
locate it.  You may have found a 'bug' (or maybe it should be called an
un-optimization) when the default method name is used though - what is the
callstack?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'self-hosted'.  If you mean py2exe, then that
tool supports a 'typelibs' attribute which can package and use makepy
generated files.  Google might help you there, but sadly the examples and
docs are a little light at the moment.
