#141 Bug in ActiveScripting exception handling

[timur]

When a python script run by an ActiveScripting scripting host application
on Python 3.4 scripting engine (with pywin32 Build 219)
throws a 'com_error' exception
during execution (IActiveScript::SetScriptState(SCRIPTSTATE_CONNECTED)),

then a TypeError is thrown in the course of handling the original exception,
and the original 'com_error' is lost.

The reason, as far as I understand, is the obsolete (for Python 3) code
accessing class attributes (exception class, in this case) by integer index.

Here is the trace:

...
pythoncom error: Unexpected exception in gateway method 'SetScriptState'
Traceback (most recent call last):

The attached patch fixes it.
