Thanks for your response too! Unfortunately, I must have something messed
up here because this didn't work either.
>>> from win32com.client import Dispatch, constants
>>> print getattr(constants, 'xlHAlignRight', 'Bzzzzt!')
Bzzzzt!
>>> app = Dispatch('Excel.Application')
>>> print getattr(constants, 'xlHAlignRight', 'Bzzzzt!')
Bzzzzt!
I tried running the makepy.py on the Excell 11.0 Object library and that
fails on me as well. Any suggestions?

The constants module is a little bit more dynamic than one would
normally expect:
Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from win32com.client import Dispatch, constants
>>> print getattr(constants, 'xlHAlignRight', 'Bzzzzt!')
Bzzzzt!
>>> app = Dispatch('Excel.Application')
>>> print getattr(constants, 'xlHAlignRight', 'Bzzzzt!')
-4152
