You don't need to import explicitely the module generated by makepy.
Read the HTML docs provided by Mark Hammond, there's enough to start playing
with COM objects.

import win32com.client

siebelObject = win32com.client.Dispatch(siebelCLSID)
x = siebelObject.someMethod(someArgs)

Ask your siebel provider for doc !!!

* What's the CLSID to use ?
* What classes are exposed ?
* What are the methods, properties, events of those classes ?

Your problem is not *pythonic*. Only siebel COM programmers can help you
further, because the API for your COM object is the same whatever's the
language you use (VBS, Python...).

Perhaps your siebel software is coming with some doc for VBS programming
(like Word, Excel, Outlook and other do). Just translate this to python.
It's very similar (as COM client point of view).

Good luck
