In general, COM itself doesn't understand a "void *". In the example above, that first param would probably be best defined as IUnknown rather than void. Further, in general, win32com only supports IDispatch based interfaces, but the C++ example above is using vtables. If you can get your analyzer interface working via IDispatch, it will work correctly from Python, as well as VBScript, JS, etc... I'm afraid I can't help with the comtypes issues...
