<br>
For what it's worth, the (24,0) means the function returns "void", and<br>
(8204,3) means the parameter is an IN/OUT parameter that is an array of<br>
variants.<br>
<br>
Given that, I'm a little confused as to why your original test -- where<br>
you passed the list of 12 items -- didn't work. As an experiment, you<br>
could try changing that to say (8204,11), which means "in/out and this<br>
is the return value", but I'm not hopeful.<br>
<br>
We may need to get Mark Hammond involved in this. He has more<br>
in-the-trenches experience here than anyone.<br>

<br>
Have you tried calling GetComponents with this object? This is a<br>
late-bound object, which means it fetches the names of the methods and<br>
properties on the fly.<br>

<br>
I have tried and failed to like another Python IDE -including the $$ ones.<br>
<br>
They all feel like they have 'static language envy'.<br>
<br>
PythonWin does the best job of being an IDE for a *dynamic* language<br>
IMO (largely due to the cunning 'psuedo-shell', and also dynamic lookup<br>
for 'completion' etc).<br>
<br>
SO<br>
<br>
I find myself installing PythonWin under Wine -although it feels<br>
like a somewhat unnatural act.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
1. A small fix (in case someone else tries it).<br>
======================================<br>
<br>
The install on Wine goes fine (Specifically: Python 2.7.8 win32 from<br>
msi installer, and then pywin32-219.win32-py2.7.exe -on Mint 17 both<br>
x64 and 32 bit machines)<br>
<br>
-but when launching PythonWin I get an error:<br>
<br>
unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'int' and 'NoneType'<br>
<br>
..at line 91 of keycodes.py (which lives in<br>
c:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/pythonwin/pywin/scintilla)<br>
<br>
My fix was simply to edit keycodes.py and change:<br>
<br>
from<br>
<br>
return vk, flags | this_flags<br>
<br>
to<br>
<br>
return vk, flags | (this_flags or 0)<br>
<br>
I was too lazy to work out why vk, this_flags = get_vk(toks[-1]) returns<br>
None in the second item.<br>
<br>
If someone wanted to make this change (or a better one) the PythonWin<br>
IDE would at least start under Wine.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
2. A workaround<br>
================<br>
I can't seem to enable the debugging toolbar *but* if I (try to) check<br>
it,*and restart* -it is there.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
3. Does anyone have any other warnings/fixes/'run away' advice etc?<br>
=========================================================<br>
<br>
Is PythonWin under wine a known bad plan? A world of pain for serious<br>
development, perhaps? Any wisdom appreciated..<br>
