Just return a string - pythoncom will do the SysAllocString() for you. Please see the 'pippo' examples in the win32com directory - they show how to hookup a typelib with your com object implementation. ie, your methodn will take 2 args (apart from 'self') and return a string. > Or what parameter do I get in the python function.

In this case you need to return a Python instance that implemented IEnumString.
