Summary: Explorer Shell Extensions

Initial Comment:
Hope this is not a silly request.  I wonder if a way of 
implementing Explorer Shell Extensions could be provided 
so that they could be built with Python without having 
to resort to C/C++.  

For background on this request, you can look at the first 
hit on a search on comp.lang.python for "shell 
extension".  

Your work and help is much apreciated.

There have been a few threads at C.L.P. about this issue in 
the past.  One particularly interesting included M.H. and A. 
Martelli.  It looked as if they were onto something, but I don't 
think it was followed through.  This is the link:

It looks like what needs to be implemented is IDropTarget, 
IDataObject, and/or IPersistFile. These interfaces would be 
added to the existing "win32com.shell" module.

Not sure but, isn't creating an explorer extention just a
matter of implementing object supporting some pre-defined
interfaces (i.e. for extention toolbar)?
