Thanks for the clues. I had trouble getting my app to do anything in
response to COM messages, but some further digging revealed
pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages, which the event loop could poll or or
it could run in a separate thread.

I will write this up as a recipe in the Python Cookbook; any comments
on my code (attached)?

Thanks again!
