COM Interface for Python

  win32com is the package which provides COM (also known as OLE, also
  known as ActiveX) functionality for Python.  See @win32com.client@.

  The win32com support is stand-alone. It does not require Pythonwin,
  or any other extension modules. It should work from any Python
  port for Win32.

  The COM framework can be broken into a number of not unrelated areas.

  Client Support -- This is the ability to use other COM servers, not
    necessarily implemented in Python.  For example, the client support
    can be used to talk to Microsoft Office, Visual Basic Servers, etc.
    See the @win32com.client@ package for more details.

  Server Support -- This is the ability to create servers which other
    clients can use.  For example, using the server support, you can create
    an object that is callable from Visual Basic, Access, Delphi, etc.

  Active X Scripting -- This is an implementation of ActiveX Scripting for Python.
    This contains the supported needed to have another ActiveX Script Server (such
    as Internet Explorer or Microsoft Internet Information Server) call Python
    scripts, and also the ability to be an Active X Scripting server, calling
    VBScript or JScript code.  (Note: The server code is not yet fully implemented)
