Unit testing COM clients and Servers

I'd like to use Test Drive Development when using ADSI, WMI
and other 
COM libraries on Windows with Python. Can anyone give some
hints as to 
how to get started or how they do it?

I'm fairly new to it and it seems like to write tests, you
have to 
simulate the responses ADSI or WMI. I can find lots of help
doing 
standard python unit testing but how does this change when
using COM?

thanks.

The only advice I can offer is to not think of this as a COM
problem.  All
apps that talk to servers beyond there control suffer the
same problem (eg,
a program talking LDAP on any platform, or written against
Oracle, etc).

When possible, I just tend to use unittest based tests, with
setUp and
tearDown methods that hit a test server, and try not leave
too much of a
mess behind...)
