pythonwin ide and com tlb files

pythonwin ide and com tlb files

I'm following Bernard's advice from a while ago and taking a look at
Python for XSI scripting.  I'm particularly excited about importing the
COM type libraries into the Pythonwin IDE and getting some code
completion help from the IDE.  I think this should work fine... except
that in the COM browser, all the softimage type libaries show up with a
note "si3dobjectmodel.tlb can not be loaded" or the like on them.

In the registry, I've noticed that they are set up without absolute
paths and such... so I thought perhaps using the following batch file
would help.

C:\Softimage\XSI_4.2\Application\bin\setevt.bat
Pythonwin.exe

but it doesn't seem to help at all.

In other IDEs for other languages I've had to point tlb importing
programs to the absolute path of the tlb files in order to get a proper
import.  But Pythonwin doesn't seem to have that capability.

I've contemplated hand hacking the regsitry to substitute absolute paths
but I'm warry.

Has anyone gotten this to work?  I'd really love to be able to properly
import the com libraries into the IDE so I can get the benefits of code
completion and all the other features.
