Summary: makepy created files fail on Python 3.1

Initial Comment:
Python 3.1, PyWin32-214, Windows XP Pro Sp3 32-bit, Excel 2007

The makepy generated files are not compatible with Python 3.
How to reproduce (For Excel 2007)

import win32com.client
import os, sys


try:
    win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule('{00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}', 0, 1, 6)

    xl = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
    xl.Visible = 1
    xl.DisplayAlerts = False
    wb = xl.Workbooks.Add()
    sh = wb.Sheets(1)
    print(str(sh.Cells(1,1)))

finally:
    xl.Quit()
