Summary: makepy fails for "Spotfire.Application"

Initial Comment:
When I run makepy from "Tools" menu for "Spotfire 
DecisionSite 8.1 Object library (1.9)", it generate 
the following error message:
=========================================
>>> Generating to C:\Python24\lib\site-
packages\win32com\gen_py\EE299BA0-BA43-11D0-96FA-

     def None(self):
 SyntaxError: assignment to None
=============================================

This the piece of the code with syntax error:

=========================================
	def None(self):
		"""Puts the query device in the None 
state"""
		return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(3, 
LCID, 1, (24, 0), (),)
=========================================

Apparently, the problem occurs because the name 
conflict with "None". Somehow makepy.py should be able 
to catch it and get it around, or just ignore 
this "None" method.

Thanks.

You can apply the following patch to win32com\build.py and
delete the generated file - or just move back to Python 2.3!
 I'll check this change in:
