Hello, some weeks ago I posted a message, and opened a bug ticket, but got not reply. Probably few of us are working with servers or dealing with pointer to pointer parameters (or simply have no time). Anyway I try to post the request once again, maybe somebody missed the issue. (Unfortunately at the moment I'm not in the condition to debug the library so my last option is to write the server in C.). Sorry for those who already read this message.
================================ I have the same problem with pippo_server, the test file in the win32com package. I don't know if somebody can have more info from this. I used a client written with python and comtypes and, with a little effort I can see the call to QueryInterface with IID_NULL (as happens if the caller is a C++ client). The client is very simple (it needs comtypes): ------------------- import comtypes from comtypes.client import * from comtypes.GUID import GUID from ctypes import * tlb_id = GUID('{41059C57-975F-4B36-8FF3-C5117426647A}') GetModule((tlb_id, 1, 0)) import comtypes.gen.TESTSERVERLib as llib obj = CreateObject('Python.Test.Pippo', interface=llib.IPippo) p = obj.Method1() ------------------ To show the problem I registered the pippo_server with the --debug option. Then I changed the function Method1 in this way to have a debug output: def Method1(self): #return wrap(CPippo()) return wrap(CPippo(),useDispatcher=1) Last, in the file policy.py at line 261, at the begin of the _QueryInterface_ function I added a line: print iid The result in PythonWin trace Collector is: Object with win32trace dispatcher created (object=None) Object with win32trace dispatcher created (object=<pippo_server.CPippo instance at 0x015DF210>) {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:Python25Libsite-packageswin32comserverdispatcher.py", line 41, in _QueryInterface_ return self.policy._QueryInterface_(iid) File "C:Python25libsite-packageswin32comserverpolicy.py", line 261, in _QueryInterface_ print iid com_error: (-2147221005, "Stringa dell'interfaccia non valida.", None, None) pythoncom error: Failed to call the universal dispatcher There is a QueryInterface with iid={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} and I don't know who's doing it.
