Hello, I'm using python 2.5 on windows (32 bit). I'm using some COM object from python. One of the functions in this COM objects expects VARIANT and operate according to the type of this VARIANT. The thing is that it does one thing if the VARIANT type is VT_UI4 (32 bit integer) and a different thing for VARIANT of type VT_UI8 (64 bit integer). The python code that calls this function 'knows' what should be the type of the VARIANT. and in certain cases, the type of the VARIANT should be VT_UI8 (64 bit), though the actual value of the variable is small (i.e. can be contained in 32 bit). But in these cases python will automatically set the type of this variant to VT_UI4 and this will cause the COM function to do the wrong thing (and eventually fail). Is there any way to 'force' python to pass this VARIANT as VT_UI8 though its value is very small?
