keep a local COM Server alive

[xeoicq@netscape.net]

I wrote a COM server in Python where all the clients use the same
global object(test_obj ). So far it works, but when the last client is
closed the Python COM enviornment is closed and the global object is
lost. How can I prevent that?
I need that new clients use the same global object and not a new
created one. I figured out a workaround, but there must be another
solution.

The code looks like:

class test:
.....

test_obj=test()

class test_f:
_reg_clsid_ = ...
_reg_progid_ = "test.cl"
_reg_clsctx_ = pythoncom.CLSCT X_LOCAL_SERVER
_public_methods _ = ...


def __init__(self):
self.delegate=t est_obj
.....
.....
.....
