I take it you have looked at win32com and ctypes. If not, win32com (pywin32) has 
good idispatch support (but no custom interface support, I believe). In the last few 
months considerable work has been done to improve COM support in ctypes to 
accompany release 1.0. This includes a program to read an IDL file and return a 
Python module defining the interface using ctypes. ctypes handles custom (dual) 
interfaces.
