I'm happy to announce the 0.6.2 comtypes release:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/comtypes/
Here are the release notes:
comtypes 0.6.2 released.
Summary of important changes:
- Several bug fixes for COM event handlers implemented in Python.
- Allow typelib wrappers that (wrongly?) contain
'SAFEARRAY(VARIANT)*'.
- DllCanUnloadNow() always returns S_FALSE in comtypes inproc
COM servers.
- The COM interfaces IViewObject, IViewObject2, and
IViewObjectEx in the new module comtypes.viewobject.

I'm happy to announce the 0.6.2 comtypes release:
I forgot to mention what comtypes is, sorry for that: comtypes -------- **comtypes** is a lightweight Python COM package, based on the ctypes FFI library, in less than 10000 lines of code (not counting the tests). **comtypes** allows to define, call, and implement custom and dispatch-based COM interfaces in pure Python. It works on Windows, 64-bit Windows, and Windows CE.

Detailed changelog since version 0.6.0:
2010-01-15 Thomas Heller
* Bumped version number to 0.6.2.
* CoUninitialize() returns nothing, not HRESULT.
2009-12-22 Thomas Heller
* Bug fixes for event handlers implemented in Python.
2009-12-11 Thomas Heller
* COM servers implemented in Python can now fire events; it did not work in some cases.
* When an exception occurs in a COM event handler, a traceback is printed.
2009-11-26 Thomas Heller
* Allow typelib wrappers that contain 'SAFEARRAY(VARIANT*)' parameter types to be imported. Calling these methods will fail, though.
2009-11-13 Thomas Heller
* To avoid a memory leak when PyInitialize()/PyUninitialize() are called several times, return S_FALSE from inproc server's DllCanUnloadNow().
2009-11-05 Thomas Heller
* COMObject subclasses can now implement a _final_release_() method to free up resources, for example. This method is called when the COM reference count reaches zero.
* Implement __hash__ method in dynamic dispatch classes. This fixes a 'python -3' warning.
* comtypes\safearray.py: When numpy is not installed, creating safearrays took a very long time. This is fixed now.
* comtypes\test\test_server.py: New way to test COM client and server. Work in progress.
2009-10-22 Thomas Heller
* Support broken COM objects that provide IProvideClassInfo2, but not IProvideClassInfo (although the latter is derived from the former). See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2829887&group_id=115265&atid=692942
* Fixed a regression from the 0.4 version, [out] parameters didn't accept pointers or arrays any longer. Thanks again to Michael Eddington.
2009-10-19 Thomas Heller
* Fix a memory leak in Python COM servers. Thanks to Michael Eddington for the patch.
2009-10-02 Thomas Heller
* comtypes\test\test_server.py: Start a better approach to test both COM object calls and COM object implementations.
2009-09-09 Thomas Heller
* Fix returning SAFEARRAY of VT_RECORDs. Based on a patch from Eduardo Arias.
* New module comtypes.viewobject, contains the interfaces IViewObject, IViewObject2, IViewObjectEx. IAdviseSink is faked.
* Change version number to 0.6.2dev.
2009-09-04 Thomas Heller
* CoTaskMemFree does not return a HRESULT. Patch from James Teh.
2009-08-19 Thomas Heller
* Bumped version number to 0.6.1.
2009-08-07 Thomas Heller
* When an interface was specified in the call to IClassObject.CreateInstance, return that instead of calling GetBestInterface. Patch from James Teh.
2009-08-04 Thomas Heller
* Added comtypes.CoGetClassObject() low-level function, comtypes.client.GetClassObject() high-level function, and implemented a pythonic interface to IClassFactory's CreateInstance method:
def CreateInstance(self, punkouter=None, interface=None, dynamic=False)
* Added the 'dynamic=False' parameter to the comtypes.client.CoGetObject and comtypes.client.GetActiveObject functions. Suggested by James Teh.
2009-06-17 Thomas Heller
* comtypes.automation: Support VT_I8 and VT_UI8 SAFEARRAYs.
* comtypes._comobject: Restore compatibility with Python 2.3.
* Add the comtypes.IServiceProvider interface. Based on a patch from Michael Curran.
2009-04-30 Thomas Heller
* Change version number in repository to 0.6.0.2dev.
* Replace the VARIANTEnumerator implementation class in comtypes.server.automation with a new one which should actually be usable.
* A completely new way how localserver and inproc server instances are managed:
A comtypes.LocalServer or comtypes.InprocServer instance is attached to the comtypes.COMObject class at runtime.
These changes keep localserver running as long as COMObject instances are alive.
2009-04-29 Thomas Heller
* comtypes.errorinfo.ReportException now takes an additional 'stacklevel' named argument.
* Add E_OUTOFMEMORY hresult code.
* Register the InprocServer32 only when running as script or py2exe dll, not when running as py2exe exe server.
2009-04-25 Thomas Heller
* SAFEARRAYs can now also be created from multi-dimensional numpy arrays.
2009-04-23 Thomas Heller
* Change version number in repository to 0.6.0.1dev.
* SAFEARRAYs can now also be created from array.array objects, and from (one-dimensional) numpy arrays. This is a lot faster than creating them from Python lists or tuples, at least for large arrays.
* ctypes instances like c_int, c_ubyte, and so on can now be assigned to VARIANT().value. This allows to force creation of VARIANTs with the corresponding typecodes V_I4, VT_UI1 and alike.
* Accept typelibs that contain SAFEARRAY(char).
2009-03-17 Thomas Heller
* Fixed the return type of ITypeLib::ReleaseTLibAttr, which is documented wrongly in MSDN. The return type is void, not HRESULT. Reported to cause crashes on Windows 7.
2009-01-29 Thomas Heller
* Restore compatibility with Python 2.3.
* comtypes\client\_code_cache.py: Add missing 'import types' in comtypes\client\_code_cache.py.
-- Thanks, Thomas
