[python-win32] byref variant parameter problem

[Shah]

Hi,

I am writing a script that creates and calls functions
on a custom COM object.  The object is used for error
handling.  Basically, the caller dim's a variant and
passes it around.  If an error occurs, this object takes
the variant, creates a disconnected ADOR.Recordset,
populates it with the error info, and assigns it to the
variant.  For example (in VB code):

Public Function MyFunc() as Long

Dim errors as Variant

MyFunc2(errors, foo, bar)

if IsObject(errors) then
    'log the errors
end if

end Function

Public Function MyFunc2(ByRef errors as Variant, _
                           ByVal foo, ByVal bar) as Long

'Create the error handler object
Dim errObj as New ErrHandler

On Error Goto ErrorHandler

'Do stuff

ErrorHandler:

    'After this, errors will be a ADOR.Recordset
    errObj.AddError(errors, desc)
    MyFunc2 = 0

End Function

I'm basically trying to call MyFunc2 in Python.
If I call it like this:

    retval = myObj.MyFunc2(None, foo, bar)

and an error is raised, I get an error message
'Object required' reported by the the error
object (errObj).  I've tried passing it an
ADOR.Recordset instead, but then I get errors
regarding the state of the Recordset.  The
errObj is supposed to create the recordset on
the fly.  Everything works fine in VB, but
I get nowhere in Python.  Any ideas?
