I have a program that I am trying to link to called ProMax

I run

from comtypes.client import CreateObject

CreateObject("ProMax.ProMax")

I get an error

  File "C:\Users\rlarson\Anaconda3\envs\hub_opt\lib\site-packages\comtypes\gen\_00021A98_0000_0000_C000_000000000046_0_4_16.py", line 6304
    """A running instance of Visio. ProgId: "Visio.Application""""
                                                                 ^
SyntaxError: unterminated string literal (detected at line 6304)

Because of the docstring in the description of the of the class having quotes around it

class Application(CoClass):
    """A running instance of Visio. ProgId: "Visio.Application""""
                                            ^                 ^
    _reg_clsid_ = GUID('{00021A20-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}')
    _idlflags_ = []
    _typelib_path_ = typelib_path
    _reg_typelib_ = ('{00021A98-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}', 4, 16)

The code generation fails because this becomes not valid python.
