Yes, a single patch to convert the entire package to relative imports would certainly be huge. We are still in a situation where we're unable to gauge the full cost...

This project is a collection of many metaprogramming layers, which makes its interdependencies more complex than a typical application codebase. Please understand that an open-source project's codebase is not always...

COM event handling is consistently one of the more challenging areas for this project. Moreover, dealing with event sinking through late-bind only interfaces adds significant complexity. To help us investigate...

Hi, Have you read about the automatic invocation of `Release()` here? https://comtypes.readthedocs.io/en/stable/com_interfaces.html#comtypes.IUnknown.Release I believe it would be easier to move the discussion forward if you could provide a reproducer that...

This package is designed to be used with CPython. As you pointed out, the timing of the `__del__` call depends on CPython's `ctypes`. To get a specific release timing, using...

As you said, the automatic release can be handled by carefully implementing code, but it's certainly a concern in corner cases. Let's keep this issue open. We can resume the...

Hi, To get straight to the point, this is a tough one. This package needs `comtypes.client.gen_dir` to be a path that the internal function `_find_gen_dir` can give. https://github.com/enthought/comtypes/blob/6a580b372786728e795c20e0731f4dee48180049/comtypes/client/_code_cache.py#L32-L49 There is...

> So do you think that replacing comtypes generated code is an idea good enough? If you could provide an example of what kind of code you'd like `comtypes` to...

I recommend annotating with the interface type rather than the pointer type for type hints, as shown in https://github.com/enthought/comtypes/issues/516#issuecomment-1956962130. I think this approach will feel more natural if you consider...
