WICPy defines Python (>=v3.8) classes wrapping the COM interfaces, bringing access to their methods and coordinating the memory managed and unmanaged modes of the resources from either side.
The COM library must be initialized for each thread creating from scratch a new component by calling Initialize() and therefore uninitialized at the end by calling Uninitialize(), after having released all interfaces.
The script test.py illustrates how to use the module through various applications.
