Alrighty, I'll keep looking in to it. I think it is easy to make the buffers get returned as a python list. Almost all the code exists to help with that. The tough part is telling the COM that the array being passed IN needs to become a Safe Array where the size of each element is only VT_UI1. The buffer is a great thing for that and at first glance the only thing I can think of would be to modify PyCom_VariantFromPyObject to check the size of the number to see if it will fit in VT_UI1 (it is already doing this for ints and longs)...but i think that would be way to dangerous...
I might still look into a proposal for changing the output, but for the input, I can't think of how to do it any other way than what you already have. Perhaps I will just have to write a script that searches my generated file from makepy and creates a layer in the python code...instead of on the C side...oh well... -Kevin On 4/29/07, Mark Hammond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
