That is what I suspected - pywin32 is adding an extra level of indirection. When pywin32 sees VT_VARIANT, it takes it literally - it supplies a variant of type VT_VARIANT (ie, the variant itself holds a variant), and that "child" variant is what holds the real value. If I understand what you are saying, comtypes just supplies the variant with the real type directly in place (ie, a variant with a 'vartype' of VT_VARIANT isn't ever returned by comtypes). Is that correct? If so, I guess I should give that a whirl and hope nothing else in the test suite breaks ;) Thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
