I have successfully used the DDE apis as a client to some DDE data services (normally accessed by excel). These services have a limit on the number of simultaneous DDE requests I can make (~300 at one time) - but this should not be a problem, as I make all of these requests sequentially.
For a small number of requests, things are fine. However, a sequence of 1000 requests seems to run into problems. So my question is: is there some clean up code that can be used for conversations, servers, etc? Can I do something like conversation.terminate() or server.destroy() to make sure I am cleaning things up properly?
An unrelated question: If I am only acting as a DDE client, why do I need to instantiate a server - is it behaving as a proxy to the (non-python) DDE server process that already exists on my machine?
Thanks for any help.

E.g. code I am using:
import win32ui
import dde
function getDataViaDDE(myRequests)
server = dde.CreateServer()
server.Create('MyDataProxy')
conversation = dde.CreateConversation(server)
conversation.ConnectTo("DDEServiceName", "DataTopic")
myResults = {}
for request in myRequests
myResults[request] = conversation.Request(request)
return myResults
