[python-win32] Fw: Python COM and Photoshop

[Sam The Cat]

 Mark,
    My apologies -- I tried to relay that I have tried both ways  -- "early
 and late dispatch"

 Here is the output after running the makepy routine on the type and object
 libraries for Photoshop

What I need to end up with is a an array of VARINTs where each VARINT is an array of length two.  Maybe I should ask -- if the PythonCOM interface knows this will it turn a list of lists (ex. [[1,1],[1,2],[2,1],[2,2]]) into what I need ?
