Do COM servers created with PythonCOM support the dual interface?

For Python to support a "native", (vtable base) interface, there must be
some C++ support for the interface.  This can be in the core pythoncom
module, or in pythoncom extensions (eg, all the .pyd files in the
win32comext tree)

PythonCOM has support for quite a large number of these native
interfaces - you can browse them by looking in the pythoncom 
dictionaries (browse the pythoncom module from pythonwin).

Any of these interfaces that we do have C++ support for, you can indeed
create dual interface objects.  All you need do is say you support the
interface - IDispatch is handled automatically.
