Oh, I see. Are you doing this by running a python com server on the client?
I played around with that a long time ago, caused me lots of headaches
though :) .

Have you tried calling CoInitialize or CoInitializeEx? (see links below). Not
entirely sure what these do, but apparently they are required in some
situations to use COM in a thread. And if you are running a COM server, it may
be spawning threads, although I don't know for sure.
