Summary: 'None' returned for COM string constants

Initial Comment:
String constants in an IDL file have none returned.  Eg, an IDL file has:

  module Constants {
    const char CharTest = -1;
    const LPWSTR StringTest = L"Hello Loraine";
  };

and the generated .py file will have:

  class constants:
    CharTest   =-1         # from enum Constants
    StringTest ='None'     # from enum Constants

Attaching a patch that demonstrates the problem, but I don't see the problem yet.

Turns out this was a regression caused by #1651025.
