I have to give Mark credit for being humble -- he followed up the article 
but didn't plug his most-excellent book. I on the other hand want 
*everyone* (who programs Python on Win32, anyway) to know about this 
book.  

Yes, COM and Python, acting both as server and as client, are covered in 
some detail in Mark's book.  If you haven't already, I'd definitely get 
_Python Programming on Win32_.  I've read it cover to cover and now I'm 
going back over it detail.  I even learned a couple things about patterns 
and Python itself. I give it a *Highly* Recommended rating. 

If you go to the Python bookstore (http://www.python.org/psa/bookstore), 
follow the link for PPoW32, and purchase the book from Amazon.com, the 
PSA gets a "kick-back" in Dollars-American.
