In case anyone else is interested, below is the code I ended up using to
filter buffers from the input and output of the com. It makes use of the
Python2.4 decorators that are added to all the functions in th py file
generated by makepy.
I never thought I would find a reason for the decorator,
Alrighty, I'll keep looking in to it. I think it is easy to make the buffers
get returned as a python list. Almost all the code exists to help with that.
The tough part is telling the COM that the array being passed IN needs to
become a Safe Array where the size of each element is only VT_UI1.
I was curious is there a way to prevent an array of VT_UI1's from being
converted to a buffer? Or perhaps a way to modify the file generated
from makepy to prevent the conversion?
Nope, no such facility exists. Feel free to propose a patch though.
Cheers,

I am working with a COM module that uses the VT_UI1 and ByRef for a LOT of
its input/output, but it's a bit of a
