    Restart a Python COM Server

    Hello all.
    I am desperately in need for you help guys. Here is the story:
    1- I have created a small simple COM serve with python (along the lines
    read in Win32 Programming with python).
    2- If I start the server and call a function from VBE everything works
    fine
    3- I then want to modify the function in the python COM server
    4- I unregister the server and register it again hoping the changes
    will take effect
    5- I make call to the function from VBE but the it seems that VBE
    doesn't reload/refresh the reference to the server.
    So I do I get VBE to point to the last version of the server? If I
    close VBE and reload it then it works. But I think there is probably a
    smarter way. Please, tell me there is!
    Few posts deal with the issue, but so far I couldn't find anything
    about it...

    Thanx all
    M.E

      Hi!

      It is the normal behavior of COM.

      Note that, Python being dynamic, you can modify Python script, OF THE
      INTERIOR, during execution.

              I don't know how well this works for python-based COM components, but
              the general fix is to setup a Component Services package. This creates
              a proxy component which can be independently killed from the Component
              Services management console.

                  Alright.
                  I kind of get the idea. But how do I do that? Anyway, it is more for
                  development reason than anything else. It's not that big of a deal. But
                  still it would be nice to have a solution...

                  Thanx again
                  M.E.
