Yes, but the docs for SafeArrayCreateEx or SafeArrayCreateVectorEx do NOT have such a notice. Whatever that means. > After discussion, I've found that it's a mistake in the IDL, it should > have been "SAFEARRAY(VARIANT)" and not "SAFEARRAY(VARIANT*)". > > Unfortunatly, I can't change the existing code. > In fact, I don't need to use this particular object but I need to use > other objects defined in the same type library.

Maybe by interpreting > "SAFEARRAY(VARIANT*)" as "SAFEARRAY(VARIANT)"? An easy fix is to insert this line POINTER(VARIANT): VT_BYREF|VT_VARIANT, into the definition of the _ctype_to_vartype dictionary, at the end of the comtypes\automation.py module. This will let you import the typelib, but you will get an error if you want to call a method that uses such an argument type.
