I created a new issue (with sample Delphi project to replicate the issue, 
including the Python source file where the COM server is defined):
https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/2043

And I submit a PR:
https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/pull/2044

Thank you.

Thanks. I'll submit a PR.

When calling from a Delphi COM client (using OleVariant ),  arg[0] will be set 
by Delphi a value of 0x8002000C, when the target Python method has NO argument 
(i.e., taking only "self"). This makes args non-empty.

When calling from a C++ MFC/COM client, arg[0] will be set a value of "None", 
when the target Python method has NO argument (i.e., talking only "self"). This 
makes args non-empty.

The following code would be a "protection" for parameterless Python method.

    import inspect
    if len(inspect.getfullargspec(func).args) == 1:
        return func()
    else:
        return func(*args)

Then we can make VBA, Delphi, C++ .... all clients happy.

Agree? Should I submit a pull request?

I'm not sure ATM - I'd be quite surprised if there was a bug in COM functions 
with no args, so it may be more subtle than that. But you should certainly get 
either a PR or issue on github for this, ideally with a complete repro. It 
might be quite some time (ie, many weeks) before I can look at this in more 
detail.

Thanks,

Mark

For the following code, the method "GetPerson" has no explicit argument (except 
self).
class MyCOMObject:
    _public_methods_ = ["GetPerson"]
    #_reg_clsid_ = '{44ee76c7-1290-4ea6-8189-00d5d7cd712a}'
    #_reg_desc_ = "My COM server"
    #_reg_progid_ = "MyCOMObject"
    def get_person(self):
        person = Person("haha", 45)
        wrapped = win32com.server.util.wrap(person, useDispatcher = 
my_dispatcher)
        return wrapped
When calling from VBA, like below , it works fine.
    Set o = CreateObject("MyCOMObject")
    Set p = o.get_person()
However, when calling from C++, or Delphi, the following error will be thrown:
"TypeError: MyCOMObject.get_person() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were 
given"
Delphi code:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  o: OleVariant;
  p: OleVariant;
begin
  o := CreateOleObject('MyCOMObject');
  p := o.get_person(); // error will be thrown
  s := p.name;
  age := p.age;
  ShowMessage(s);
end;
The fix is to change Line 639 of policy.py to the following:

                 if len(args) == 1 and (args[0] == -2147352572 or args[0] == 
None):
                 return func()
                 else:
                 return func(*args)
