You have to make sure that your VB code releases all references to the COM
objects. You also have to ensure that there are no circular references -
for example, if you have 2 COM objects, and each of them has a reference to
the other, they will never be released. In this case, you really need a
"close" method that explicitly drops the reference.
The value of pythoncom._GetGatewayCount() will tell you how many reference
to PythonCOM objects are still outstanding. This must hit zero before
Python will terminate.
