Yes - as I mentioned before, str(ob) calls a COM method on 'ob' - so what 'print ob' yields is up to the object, not up to win32com. > Second, when the INPUT node named 'q' is returned as an item > in a list (see > qNode2) printing the list prints the item.

This is just Python. When you 'print ob', you are doing, basically, print str(ob). But when ob is a list, the list object itself uses repr() on the list elements. So if 'ob' is in a list, you get different results than if it is not. This is Python, not win32com.
