Python first checks to see if there is a *property* named 'mypingmax' before
checking if it is a method. The way Python works, that is hard to avoid.
If the app returned a "normal" error code in that case things would march on
fine.
You could try calling the _FlagAsMethod method on the object. Something
like:
o = win32com.client.Dispatch("MAX.Application.8")
o._FlagAsMethod("mypingmax")
o.mypingmax("test string")
That should prevent win32com from first checking if the item is a property.
