[python-win32] using a COM interface with [in, out]

[Rex Corrovan]

Nevermind, I am an idiot, figured out my problem. Sorry to bother.

So I am using an interface where the .idl looks like this:

        HRESULT getVersion(
                        [in, out] BSTR* Version,
                        [in, out] BSTR* error,
                        [out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL* );
        [id(0x60030002)]

Now, I ran makepy, and tried to use this. The use is supposed to be to call 
with two pointers and the function will populate those two pointers.

I tried calling it as

res, ver, err = o.getVersion(None, None)

that puts empty strings into ver and err and returns false. Trying

res, ver, err = o.getVersion()

results in a traceback complaining about parameters not being optional.

Is it possible to do this with python?
