If you know where the application's typelib (*.tlb) is, you can run makepy
manually against it. You can also run makepy on an exe, dll, or ocx
if it contains type information. Alternately, you might be able to register
the typelib using pythoncom.RegisterTypeLib if the application
doesn't do so itself.
