That sums it up pretty well.
Here's the longer version:
The SWIG in Pywin32 had been customised to accomodate
COM objects that inherit from another interface. Somewhere
along the line, the source code has been lost, so when I ported
SWIG to Python 3, I had to start from a clean source tree.
It should be possible to reverse engineer the custom code from
the output generated for Python 2, but nobody's had time to
do so yet.
