Plz escalate: time stamping remains broken (ImportError: Typelib different than module)

[fusentasticus]

Hi maintainers - could I gently ask you to weigh in on this issue?

Several people have noticed that the comtypes client remain broken in common use cases -- this is due to a timestamp mechanism that should ensure that wrappers are freshly generated when the typelib changes. See complaints and ideas from the last few months here:

I have submitted an attempt at understanding and fixing this problem for good, please see https://github.com/enthought/comtypes/pull/241

But I haven't tested it much and it's clear that several sets of eyes are needed to get this right! Hope this will help!

give this one a try.

It is a modified version of the fix you have done. This one covers a broader range of timestamp related issues. Once we know it is working as it should be the PR will get merged.

@vasily-v-ryabov I think the problem reported in this issue has been resolved in 1.1.13. I think this issue should be closed.
