This is what happens when I start "COM makepy" from the Pythonwin
Menu:

OK, so I figure it wants to write to C:\TEMP\gen_py (why? IIRC this
used to be buried somewhere along the site-packages). I create the
directory & import a class. This is what happens:

---------------------------------------------------
Now when I try this:
import win32com.client
instance = win32com.client.Dispatch("...")
it tells me that Dispatch is not found ???? I restart pythonwin &
python2.3.2 & win32all "out of the box" before and didn't have any of
these problems. So, is "COM makepy" broken in AP232?
