Try leaving the events class as an "old style" class (ie, don't derive from
object)

I'm afraid I've no idea.  Can you show the VBScript code that does work, and
the version re-written in Python that doesn't?  You should use python.exe to
test in the first instance, and cscript.exe (not wscript.exe) to test the
VBScript.
