[pywin32-bugs] CreateTypeLib2 support

[Phil R. <Phi...@ds...>]

Hi,

First, I'd like to thank you for the pywin32 package.  We have found it 
extremely
useful in a wide variety of tasks.  Kudos to everyone involved.


I was just wondering if there are any plans to support the CreateTypeLib2 
API
either instead of, or in addition to, the CreateTypeLib API.

I am currently using pythoncom to generate type libraries, but I ran into 
an
issue supporting optional parameters.   After a lot of digging I 
discovered that
the old CreateTypeLib API doesn't support them.   I have currently built
a custom version of pywin32 that uses the new CreateTypeLib2 API, and
everything works great.   I'm hoping that the CreateTypeLib2 support can
be added to the official release.

I can volunteer some of my time if that helps.

Thanks,
Phil


P.S.

When building from the source for build 201 I noticed that  two files were
missing:

PyIProvideTaskPage.cpp
PyIProvideTaskPage.h

It wasn't a big deal since they have not changed in 
CVS since the release.  So I just downloaded them
and all built fine.
