I do actually want to use these non-COM interfaces from python. You can see these interfaces as a sort of callback-functions. I want to implement them in python an receive calls from the COM-object on it (after passing a pointer to it to the COM object). (I do know there are other ways in COM to do eventing...) I successfully can use the COM object from python and call COM methods on it. But using these non-COM interfaces are causing toubles. I will try an patch my comtypes and see where it takes me. Thank you

But you don't want to access these non-COM interfaces from Python, don't you? If this is the case, you should probably patch the code generator to allow non-COM interfaces and delete the generated code for them afterwards. Something like this... In other words, I disallowed these interfaces because I never encountered them (and comtypes would probably become confused about them).
