This may clarify my issue. I found this in the VB help:
' Test to see if there is a copy of Microsoft Excel already running.
On Error Resume Next
' Getobject function called without the first argument returns a
' reference to an instance of the application. If the application isn't
' running, an error occurs.
Set MyXL = Getobject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ExcelWasNotRunning = True
I'd like to do the same thing with my app. How can I register the COM
server and/or tell Windows that my application is now running so that
I get the same behavior as the above? I don't want an instance of my
server class created in a new Python process; I want the existing,
running Python process.
