hi,
I'm new to python as well as pywin. I'm having trouble with the following code:

_ListenerBase = win32com.client.getevents("SAPI.SpSharedRecoContext")
class _ListenerCallback(_ListenerBase):

   """Created to fire events upon speech recognition.  Instances of this
   class automatically die when their listener loses a reference to
   its grammar.  TODO: we may need to call self.close() to release the
   COM object, and we should probably make goaway() a method of self
   instead of letting people do it for us.
   """

   def __init__(self, oobj, listener, callback):
       _ListenerBase.__init__(self, oobj)
       self._listener = listener
       self._callback = callback

   def OnRecognition(self, _1, _2, _3, Result):
       # When our listener stops listening, it's supposed to kill this
       # object.  But COM can be funky, and we may have to call close()
       # before the object will die.
       if self._listener and not self._listener.islistening():
           self.close()
           self._listener = None

       if self._callback and self._listener:
           newResult = win32com.client.Dispatch(Result)
           phrase = newResult.PhraseInfo.GetText()
           self._callback(phrase, self._listener)

The error I get is:
class _ListenerCallback(_ListenerBase):
TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
   cannot create 'NoneType' instances

I went through the list archives and found a couple of messages regarding this, so I tried the following in an interactive shell:
>>> lb = win32com.client.getevents("SAPI.SpSharedRecoContext")
>>> type(lb)
<type 'NoneType'>

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Why is getevents returning a NoneType? How can I fix it?

Thanks,
Arun
