After a some more struggling: The reason why some files ended up in a subdirectory, was that I used the gencache.EnsureDispatch call, which defaults to "on demand" building of class interfaces. Not that it matters, though, I have the same problem if I generate using makepy.py on the command line, or use EnsureModule (that has a different default).
My latest attempt is pisdkcommonlib = ('{76A44786-EBC8-11D3-BDC5-00C04F779EB2}', 0, 1, 0) win32com.client.makepy.GenerateChildFromTypeLibSpec("IPIAsynchStatus2", pisdkcommonlib, 1) which gives me Generating... Building definitions from type library... Building definitions from type library... Building definitions from type library... Building definitions from type library... Generation complete.. Importing module ImportError: No module named IPIAsynchStatus2 Any pointers appreciated.
