[sorry for top-post]
You probably need to release the Python object that is wrapping the COM object.
Given a variable x holding a COM object reference, either:
del x
or
x = None
should force release of any COM object reference.
Which to use depends on taste and context - the latter approach for example
being perhaps more usual when dealing with object attributes.

Subject: [python-win32] how can I do marshall.ReleaseComObject in python ??
Hi All,
I'm Working on a cad program using the it's com interface
I have a python com object in witch I call a method as follows ..
props=ent.Properties(True)
#Ent is a IDocument
this method is working well, and return a tuple of ITDProperty that are the
property of the document.
The problem is when I close the document from the Cad application, the Cad
application is unable to close the document because there is some reference
still active.
I tried several way using the gc.collect(), to set to null each document
pointer but with no result.
I tried to do the some kind of operation with c# and using the
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(doc);, where doc is the IDocument, and document is
released and I'm free to close it from the interface.
now the question is how can I do the some staff as ReleaseComObject dose in
python ?
its the Release method of the IUnknown interface the right way to do that ?
any hint is really appreciated, thanks
Regards,
Matteo
