Thank you for your directions. I used
midl ShObjIdl.idl
to generate the ShObjIdl.tlb file. But when I try to load it with
comtypes using
from comtypes.client import GetModule
GetModule('ShObjIdl.tlb')
I get the following output:
# Generating comtypes.gen._50A7E9B1_70EF_11D1_B75A_00A0C90564FE_0_1_0
# Generating comtypes.gen._00020430_0000_0000_C000_000000000046_0_2_0

Any hints? Kind regards,
