Finally, I found the time to make the long overdue release:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/comtypes/
comtypes 0.6.1 released.
Summary of important changes:
- SAFEARRAYs can now be created from array.array objects, and
from multidimensional numpy arrays.
- Completely new implementation of the
comtypes.server.automation.VARIANTEnumerator class.
- Added comtypes.client.GetClassObject() function which
returns a factory able to create COM objects.
- Much improved IClassObject::CreateInstance() method.
- SAFEARRAYs now support the typecodes VT_I8 and VT_UI8.
- Added comtypes.IServiceProvider interface (unfortunately
there is no ChangleLog entry for this one).

Detailed changelog since version 0.6.0:
2009-08-19 Thomas Heller
* Bumped version number to 0.6.1.
2009-08-07 Thomas Heller
* When an interface was specified in the call to
IClassObject.CreateInstance, return that instead of calling
GetBestInterface. Patch from James Teh.
2009-08-04 Thomas Heller
* Added comtypes.CoGetClassObject() low-level function,
comtypes.client.GetClassObject() high-level function, and
implemented a pythonic interface to IClassFactory's CreateInstance
method:
def CreateInstance(self,
punkouter=None,
interface=None,
dynamic=False)
* Added the 'dynamic=False' parameter to the
comtypes.client.CoGetObject and comtypes.client.GetActiveObject
functions. Suggested by James Teh.
2009-06-17 Thomas Heller
* comtypes.automation: Support VT_I8 and VT_UI8 SAFEARRAYs.
* comtypes._comobject: Restore compatibility with Python 2.3.
* Add the comtypes.IServiceProvider interface. Based on a patch
from Michael Curran.
2009-04-30 Thomas Heller
* Change version number in repository to 0.6.0.2dev.
* Replace the VARIANTEnumerator implementation class in
comtypes.server.automation with a new one which should actually be
usable.
* A completely new way how localserver and inproc server instances
are managed:
A comtypes.LocalServer or comtypes.InprocServer instance
is attached to the comtypes.COMObject class at runtime.
These changes keep localserver running as long as
COMObject instances are alive.
2009-04-29 Thomas Heller
* comtypes.errorinfo.ReportException now takes an additional
'stacklevel' named argument.
* Add E_OUTOFMEMORY hresult code.
* Register the InprocServer32 only when running as script or
py2exe dll, not when running as py2exe exe server.
2009-04-25 Thomas Heller
* SAFEARRAYs can now also be created from multi-dimensional numpy
arrays.
2009-04-23 Thomas Heller
* Change version number in repository to 0.6.0.1dev.
* SAFEARRAYs can now also be created from array.array objects, and
from (one-dimensional) numpy arrays. This is a lot faster than
creating them from Python lists or tuples, at least for large
arrays.
* ctypes instances like c_int, c_ubyte, and so on can now be
assigned to VARIANT().value. This allows to force creation of
VARIANTs with the corresponding typecodes V_I4, VT_UI1 and alike.
* Accept typelibs that contain SAFEARRAY(char).
2009-03-17 Thomas Heller
* Fixed the return type of ITypeLib::ReleaseTLibAttr, which is
documented wrongly in MSDN. The return type is void, not HRESULT.
Reported to cause crashes on Windows 7.
2009-01-29 Thomas Heller
* Restore compatibility with Python 2.3.
* comtypes\client\_code_cache.py: Add missing 'import types' in
comtypes\client\_code_cache.py.
