That is possible. Most leaks of COM objects should be evident by querying pythoncom._GetInterfaceCount() and pythoncom._GetGatewayCount() - it would be interesting to know if these were both zero and you still had the problem. > Is there a reason why pythoncom doesn't call CoUninitialize() itself? We had a few problems trying to do that. In some cases when not all COM objects were explicitly closed, we found that system shutdown time could cause the object to attempt to release the COM pointer - but *after* CoUninit had been called. But I have found very few errors *not* calling it - especially when all COM objects have been cleaned up. I guess that is really just a matter of finding the correct hook (but note that in a COM DLL case, Python itself will never be Uninitialized!
