Hello Tim,
Thank you for your reply. I tried to use the setPath method and no luck:
In [26]: item.setPath('')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
exceptions.AttributeError Traceback (most recent
call last)
C:\coe\<ipython console>
c:\python24\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py in __getattr__(self,
attr)
452 args=self._prop_map_get_.get(attr)
453 if args is None:
--> 454 raise AttributeError, "'%s' object has no
attribute '%s'" % (repr(self), attr)
455 return self._ApplyTypes_(*args)
456
AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Expression Media 1.0 Type Library.IMediaItem
instance at 0x20535736>' object has no attribute 'setPath'
I did dir(item) and there were no set/get methods, just the ones provided by
the application's COM. The item.Path attribute appears to just be a unicode
string.

-2147467259 is 80004005, which is the rather unhelpful E_FAIL.
Sometimes, when it is mapping a settable/gettable property, the Python COM
mapper creates a separate method for setting. You might try:
item.setPath( "" )
