Data Type Problem in Python / COM

[Olav]

I'm trying to use Python / COM to do some drawing automation.   Here
is a simple code example:
This code uses a object made by the Opendwg-org.  Autocad has a similar
object with the same methods - and the same result.

-----------

import win32com.client
odaHost=win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch("DWGdirectX.OdaHostApp")
odaApp = odaHost.Application

point = (0,0,0) #x,y,z

filename    = r'c:\temp\test.dwg'
odaDoc      = odaApp.Documents.Add(filename)

odaDoc.ModelSpace.AddPoint(point)

--------------

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py",
line 310, in RunScript
    exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
  File "F:\dom-users\Autoproject\makedwg.py", line 13, in ?
    odaDoc.ModelSpace.AddPoint(a)

line 9516, in AddPoint
    ret = self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(1562, LCID, 1, (9, 0), ((12,
1),),Point
com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'DWGdirectX', 'The
parameter is incorrect.\r\n', None, 0, -2147024809), None)

 -------------------

I have tried both early and late binding but with the same result.

I have seen the same code in VB, and the code looks like this:
This works.

------------

Sub Example_AddPoint()
     ' This example creates a point in model space.
     Dim pointObj As AcadPoint
     Dim location(0 To 2) As Double
     ' Define the location of the point
     location(0) = 5#: location(1) = 5#: location(2) = 0#
     ' Create the point
     Set pointObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddPoint(location)
----------------

It seems to me that this error is related to the data-type
conversation.
Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
