What is "site" here?  It sounds like site is a tuple, so the COM
framework is attempting to convert your return value (site) into
a safearray.  You are probably expecting site to be a string or
other simple type?

The fact that no traceback is printed indicates that the error
was not raised by Python code, byt by the PythonCOM framework on
the way out of the function - ie, your function has correctly
returned to the PythonCOM framework, but the error occurs in
re-packing the COM objects from the Python return value.

Ive been on Win2000 for some time, so its not related to that...
