Dear All, I am facing a problem passing an array by reference. It is exactly the same problem as described in this thread:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2002-November/000562.html In short, I have a valid reference to a Position object. This object has two methods, GetComponents and SetComponents that each take a CATSafeArrayVariant as an argument. This CATSafeArrayVariant should in this case be a one-dimensional array of real values. A CATSafeArrayVariant is a typedef for a CATVariant which itself is (exactly copied from the documentation) "typedef any CATVariant". I tried the obvious ways of passing standard python tuples and lists of size 12. The calls itself succeed, however the values are never updated. I also tried the new VARIANT object with different type specifiers, but I always get the error message: TypeError: Objects for SAFEARRAYS must be sequences (of sequences), or a buffer object I do not have access to either the IDL description or sourcecode for the call. In addition, I cannot find the Get/SetComponent methods when I run makepy. All in all, not the best situation. It is a little frustrating, because I have 95% of the functionality I need up and running in Python instead of VBA. This way it perfectly fits in the rest of the code I have, so if I can avoid switching to VBA, it would be great. By the way, the call works fine in VBA. Does anybody have an idea on how to solve this? Kind regards, Marco
