Re: [python-win32] ByRef params not working with PythonCOM

[Greg Antal]

Mark: The workaround you suggest may not scale, but it works and I can live with it.  I was on the verge of giving up on Python for this project and converting to the API's native VB, but I won't have to do that now.  Thanks. - Greg Antal Gregory W.

So there are 315 map entries you need to adjust? Note that in the general case, you can probably do: selector = some_object.feSelector # now a 'generic' object. selector = mod.ISelector(selector) # convert to a real ISelector object But this doesn't really scale either. Question:  can something be done to makepy to fix this, or this an inherent and hopeless flaw in the TLB? There's not much win32com can do by itself if the typelib doesn't indicate the type of the param and *also* doesn't provide its CLSID at runtime. Obviously, you are dealing with a normal python module and normal python classes, so you could programatically update the dictionaries - but you are still faced with the problem of knowing what to update the dictionaries with!
