Sure. For a more specialist audience than SO it boils down to:

1. Should I call PyWinGlobals_Free() before calling Py_Finalize()? If I
don't I get errors,  which I can give more detail about if you want.
2. Why does pycom's dllmain.cpp contain a comment implying that it is not
safe to "ever" finalize python "in the COM world".
3. What happened to the pycom-dev archive? pythonpros.com, which all the
links to it I can find point to, appears to be a sedo parking thing.
