First of all I want to mention that I don't have very much experience with COM, while its PyWin32 wrappers are some kind of a nebula.
I discovered this while investigating [SO]: win32com.client combrowse.main() (Python Object Browser) is not responding Python 3.9.
Very easy to reproduce:
At the beginning I wanted to modify browser.HLIPythonObject.__repr__, but I realized that would only be a lame workaround (gainarie), so after a bit of code browsing I came up with this.
After patching the file:
As a note, the crash is no longer visible (the dialog only flashes, because the program terminates), but if adding a time.sleep after the dialog is displayed, it is mostly frozen, not sure should I call some of its methods (like Wndproc)? Not an MFC fan.
