("BUG"), ["BUG"], and (["BUG"]) all fail with the same type mismatch
error.  Why would I need to use tuple and/or array syntax to walk a
list?


I'm expecting self.tdc.Customization.Fields.Fields("BUG") to simply
return a list that I can iterate over.

self.tdc.Customization.Fields is
	Public Property Fields() As Object

self.tdc.Customization.Fields.Fields is
	Public Property Fields( 
	   Optional ByVal TableName As String = "" 
	) As List
	Remarks  If an empty string is passed as TableName, returns a
list of the fields in all tables

List has Count and Item methods.


I may be a Python newbie but it shouldn't be this difficult to walk a
list.  By comparison, here's the Perl equivalent:
	my $custFields = $tdc->Customization->Fields->Fields($db);
	for(my $i=1; $i<=$custFields->Count; $i++) {
		my $field = $custFields->Item($i);
		...	
	}
