You are correct, it no longer refers to the object.  I should have added a few more details.  Windows still believes the object is in use, in this case it’s a dll.  Nothing else can be done with the dll until Python is completely shut down.  None of the other dll com objects I have used in the past have had this problem.


Excel behaves that way also. One must explicitly tell Excel to quit, as in excelObj.quit(). Does your dll have an equivalent?

Or take a look at psTools for ways to kill processes.
