I'm not sure what an array of variants in VB is -- perhaps an array
that can contain objects of any type?

You may not need to use the array module -- the array module is
specifically for arrays of numerics in situations where performance
matters. In general in Python, you get array-like behaviour using
lists. Lists can hold objects of any type.
For example:
>>> myList = [100, 'Test application']
>>> myList[0]
100
>>> myList[1]
'Test application'
I recommend reading a python tutorial if this is new to you.
