It certainly looks wierd, but I have no idea.  There are tests of
doubles talking to VB in the Python COM test suite.

Unfortunately, people do use PythonCOM with arrays of doubles, so I
have no real choice other than to put it down to SolidWorks (although,
of course, they will probably tell you that it also works perfectly
with VB, so it must be Python's fault:).

I'm happy to talk to the SolidWorks developers if they care enough...

Mark.
