I have a script using win32com. An instance of a COM 
object is loaded. As part of the load, the server 
loads an instance of another com object. The server 
has a get property returning the IDisp of the server 
loaded object. In a def, the get property is used 
thus:- ocp.Msg1001.Data where, ocp is the Python loaded
ocject and Msg1001 is the serverloaded object. As soon 
as the def ends, Python garbage collects ocp.Msg1001 
rendering it unusable. If I create a variable in 
__main of ocp.Msg1001, all is well.

The problem is caused by the fact that Python cannot 
tell between a com instance it created and one it has 
been passed.

Reassigned to Mark.  Anonymous, you should really report 
this to ActiveState instead (the SourceForge Python project 
doesn't supply the Win32 extensions).

I am afraid I can't understand this.  What I do understand 
seems to be working correctly.  There is no email address 
where I can get further information.

Anonymous - please either add a bug in the ActivePython bug 
database (please include sample code) or mail me directly.
