Mark, My apologies -- I tried to relay that I have tried both ways -- "early and late dispatch"
Here is the output after running the makepy routine on the type and object libraries for Photoshop --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] Traceback (most recent call last): File "F:\automation\test3.py", line 16, in <module> doc.Selection.Select([[1,1],[1,2],[2,1],[2,2]]) File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\E891EE9A-D0AE-4CB4-8871-F92C0109F18Ex0x9x0.py", line 2606, in Select , Type, Feather, AntiAlias) 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 really think that Python knows what to do and that I do not know how to tell Python to do it. What I need to end up with is a an array of VARINTs where each VARINT is an array of length two. Maybe I should ask -- if the PythonCOM interface knows this will it turn a list of lists (ex. [[1,1],[1,2],[2,1],[2,2]]) into what I need ?
