I personally recommend the PyWin32 user's group for questions about that
interesting interface:

As for links on COM, here's a couple:

You can usually Google for how to do "something" with Visual Basic and
then translate that into Python. MSDN is your friend as well...at least,
in this situation. You can also Google Robin's suggestion:
"wx.lib.activexwrapper". It returns quite a few hits.
