[python-win32] Array of 64 bit int

[Marc-Andre Belzile]

My goal is to use an array of 64 bit integers in python to store byte values and pass the array an activex object. I thought of using array but unlike struct, it doesn't support the 64 bit int type. So I'm looking for an alternative to the array module. 

e.g.
import array
a64 = array.array( 'q', ['blip blip','blop'] )

myObject.StroreArray64( a64 )

where StoreArray64 takes a safearray variant arg.

I also tried using an array of doubles for storing the bytes but that doesn't seem to work as the values are completly wrong after casting to long64.

thanks.

Are you specifically talking about passing 64-bit ints to external
APIs?  Integers in Python are of infinite size, so the question needs a
little clarification.
