The IDL ships with the Win 7 SDK. The typelib does not.
You should be able to ship a copy of TaskbarLib with your project.
Further, you could modify it to include the CLSID_TaskbarList constant
so you don't have to embed the GUID every time.

Comtypes is not part of win32com. Further, win32com does not include
implementations for every conceivable COM object in the system.
Indeed, the code you have there is very similar to what the equivalent
C++ code would look like for this task. The only difference is that I
would be able to use CLSID_TaskbarList instead of "{56FDF344-...}".
