I think trying to create the object using VBScript is a good idea.
This way you will know who to blame (pywin or the component).
===ThisIsJustATestIWouldLikeToDoItInPython.vbs ===
Dim x
Set x = CreateObject ("AlibreX.AutomationHook")
===EOF==
Does it work?
I'm not 100% sure, but AFAIK VB doesn't need the IDispatch, as far as
the component provide a type library and oleautomation types.
Mark: can dispatch-less objects be used from win32com?
