I looked into the generated file that you sent me offline. The
GetListOfDependantFiles()
method uses an [in, out] parameter, apparently a SAFEARRAY of BSTR (an array of
strings).
You must call the method with a list (or tuple) containing strings, comtypes
will
pack these automatically into a safearray, the com object will insert its
results
into the safearray, and comtypes will unpack it again and return a them as a
sequence.
So I assume that something like this *should* work:
result = send.GetListOfDependantFiles([None] * 500)
for item in result:
print item
