And what are you trying to pass into it? If comtypes' default conversions aren't working for you, you should be able to instantiate a VARIANT directly and populate it manually - you may wish to read the source for the VARIANT structure in automation.py (imported as comtypes.automation) to understand the implementation. -------------------------&gt; "These thoughts are mine alone!" &lt;--------- Andrew MacIntyre Operations Branch tel: +61 2 6219 5356 Communications Infrastructure Division fax: +61 2 6253 3277 Australian Communications &amp; Media Authority email: andrew.macintyre-IAnLTBhEB4+6c6uEtOJ/EA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&lt;mailto:andrew.macintyre-IAnLTBhEB4+6c6uEtOJ/EA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; http://www.acma.gov.au/ From: Luciano Strassacappa [mailto:luciano.strassacappa-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org] Sent: Saturday, 4 May 2013 5:19 AM To: comtypes-users-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f&lt; at &gt;public.gman</pre> Andrew MacIntyre 2013-05-06T00:51:30 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.comtypes.user/630 <pre>Andrew, Thanks for posting but already tried and I couldn't find the proper conversion Luciano 2013/5/2 Andrew MacIntyre &lt;Andrew.MacIntyre-IAnLTBhEB4+6c6uEtOJ/EA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; </pre> Luciano Strassacappa 2013-05-03T19:19:06 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.comtypes.user/629 <pre>Yes - see http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/comtypes/#converting-data-types for some notes about this. -------------------------&gt; "These thoughts are mine alone!" &lt;--------- Andrew MacIntyre Operations Branch tel: +61 2 6219 5356 Communications Infrastructure Division fax: +61 2 6253 3277 Australian Communications &amp; Media Authority email: andrew.macintyre-IAnLTBhEB4+6c6uEtOJ/EA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&lt;mailto:andrew.macintyre-IAnLTBhEB4+6c6uEtOJ/EA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; http://www.acma.gov.au/ From: Luciano Strassacappa [mailto:luciano.strassacappa-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org] Sent: Friday, 3 May 2013 3:57 AM To: comtypes-users-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org Subject: [comtypes-users] Passing a VARIANT (array of objects) Hi, I need to pass object type (VARIANT) is that possible using comtypes?

We're using the out-of-proc server in a slightly non-standard way. Normally it would get launched when someone attempts to create an object it implements, and then server.localserver.run() will exit when the last reference count to the last object is released, causing the server to go away. Ours is actually a process that's supposed to be running all the time (although it has some UI so it's not a service), so the behavior of exiting the message loop when the last object is released is bad for us. I used to get around this by just calling localserver.run() in a while loop, but in Windows 8 with comtypes this is not working. Instead of letting it exit and calling it in a loop, I'm just going to create an object and hold a reference to it myself so the loop doesn't exit. If anyone is interested in figuring out why calling run() multiple times in the same process is not working, the C++ sample code (VS 2008) that does more or less the same thing (except that it works) is</pre> Alicia Chen 2013-03-19T19:57:13 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.comtypes.user/624 <pre>Am 19.03.2013 00:12, schrieb Alicia Chen: Alicia, I have not yet used comtypes on Windows 8.

This worked fine on Windows 7, but Windows 8 seems to ignore this flag and attempts to launch a new instance for any call other than the first. I tested this with the sample code given here&lt;http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/comtypes/server.html&gt; with only a slight modification, changing the server so that it stays running and continually processes calls, to emulate what our program does. while True: comtypes.server.localserver.run([MyObjectImpl]) On Win7, if you launch the server, you can run the client multiple times and the calls will always go to the running instance of the server. On Win8, the first client call behaves as expected, but all subsequent calls cause a new instance of the server to be launched, and CreateObject eventually fails with the following error: Creating MyObject object now!
