Actually, on further research it looks like the Python COM
implementation does support callbacks, although it looks somewhat
complex.

Got it.  :-)

I think I'm beginning to understand where the risks with threads are.
With threads, you can accidentally bypass the communication

times.

Thanks to all for the responses.
