[python-win32] problem AddLine AutoCAD win32com.client

[DANIEL POSE]

I have used array module because it worked with comtypes module. If I use
simple list it doesn't work with comtypes nor pywin32.
If I use:
pt1 = [0.0,0.0,0.0]
pt2 =[1.0,1.0,0.0]

Then Python responds:

<code>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<ipython console>", line 1, in <module>
  File
"C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\startup.py",
line 128, in runfile
    execfile(filename, glbs)
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Mis
documentos\DropboxDani\Dropbox\PYTHON\PruebaAutoCADLinea.py", line 16, in
<module>
    line = ms.AddLine(pt1, pt2)
  File "<COMObject <unknown>>", line 3, in AddLine
com_error: (-2147352567, 'Ocurri\xf3 una excepci\xf3n.', (0, None, None,
None, 0, -2147024809), None)

</code>
