The Excel docs are your best bet. The examples they give
are all MS-specific languages like VB, but most translate
fairly easily to Python.
You can also run makepy on the Excel typelib, which will
generate a file with all the methods, events etc available
thru the Excel object model.
Also, searching this group and the pywin32 mailing list
for "excel.application" turns up a bunch of sample code.
