Sorry, I forgot who I was talking to.  :-)  I didn't mean to imply that
ArcView would bestow this benefit on Python.  I meant the opposite: Without
Python, ArcView doesn't have any way to deal with COM objects.  With Python
(and win32com), it does have a way.  So your suggested alternative is
exactly what I meant in the first place!

It is definitely free software.  The license will be BSD-style.

Cheers,
