[python-win32] Makepy and Documentum Foundation Classes

[d.w. harks]

Greetings, all,

I'm working with the COM interface for Documentum, trying to expose it
via PythonCOM.

Unfortunately, the dynamic dispatch and makepy utilities don't get the
correct IDs for the various methods -- which are often object factories
that lead to more dispatches.

However, once I got the initial Dispatch to work, if I call
GetIDsFromNames on the _oleobj_ of the parent object for each method I
want to call, I get a correct ID -- by updating the makepy-generated
file with this, things start to work correctly.

Obviously, manually going through the generated file and updating the
IDs is not a great solution, so I'd like to patch build.py...

But I really have no idea where to start. Any hints? Even an idea of
what methods to look at would be much appreciated.

Oh, I should mention that Documentum's COM objects are implemented via
the COM-Java bridge, which could be related, though I'm not sure.

Thanks,

dave
