win32con.client.constants error

[Barry Newberger]

I am working on a Outlook COM project. For some reason
win32com.client.constants

quit working between runs of one of my test scripts. It's supposed to
acquire attributes for all constants defined in loaded COM servers
through its __dicts__ attribute,and did for awhile

Now it is throwing an AttributeError:

I am running Python 2.4.4 and pywin32-210. I tried reinstalling pywin
without success.

Thanks,
