[python-win32] Can pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages() generate a COM error?

[Richard Bell]

Can pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages() generate a COM error?  In particular if
there is a running instance of IE that is terminated by some external event,
say the user or a script, will pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages() generate a
COM error since the automation object is gone?

Thanks for any clues.

Regards,
Richard
