Unfortunately, win32com doesn't support arbitrary interfaces. If the object
you are using doesn't support IDispatch, then you can't use it from
win32com. You may like to try something like:
ob = win32com.client.Dispatch(s.GetProvider())
to see if it does support IDispatch, in which case you could then start
calling methods etc on it.
