I am a complete beginner myself with python and win so surely there are
better ways of doing this. In any case, here's my try.
You could try to go in the reverse manner: instead of trying to guess the
right way from python to VB, define an Array object in VB and pass it to
python, dispatch it if needed, and look at how it is formed. In this way
you will find out precisely how the array object is formed.

Help !
I am writing some COM code in Python to control photoshop. Several
functions of PS require an "Array" argument. In the examples of VBscript
or javascript the Array type is used. I have tried what would appear
to be
the equivalent in Python -- Lists and Tuples -- but to no avail. Anyone
have
any insight on what via the COM interface is equivalent to an Array in
javascript ?
Here is the Javascript example code
.....
selRegion = Array(Array(1,1),Array(1,2),Array(2,2),Array(2,1))
Doc.Selection.Select(selRegion,1,0,0)
.....
Here is my interpretation in Python
.......
selregion = [(1,1),(1,2),(2,2),(2,1)]
print selregion
doc.Selection.Select(selregion,1,0,0)
......
Here is the error code generated
..........
F:\automation>test2.py
[(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 1)]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\automation\test2.py", line 19, in ?
doc.Selection.Select(selregion,1,0,0)
File "<COMObject <unknown>>", line 3, in Select
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'Adobe
Photoshop', 'Illegal argument - argument 1\n- Only arrays
with dimension 1
are supported', None, 0, -2147220262), None)
............
I have tried many differnet permutations of structure for the selregion
variable. Any scalar or single dimension array returns an "Illegal
Argument" response with no further details -- any thing that resembles a
two
dimensional array returns the result above.
Any help / thoughts would be appreciated
