Hello everyone

I'm using win32com.client to read data from custom COM Object developed in
VB.Net.

With the following code I'm able to read a string result

---

>>> import win32com.client>>> cstApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("CustomLib.CSTApp")>>> string = cstApp.GiveMeTestString()>>> print(type(string))<class 'str'>>>> print("Test String: {0}".format(string))Test String: Well done! I come from COM Object

---


I've now a method that give as result a VB.Net Dictionary type, but when I
try to read it from my python script I get a PyIUknown type and I'm not
able to read its values

---

>>> username = 'artur'>>> resultset = cstApp.OpenTaskforUser(username)>>> print(type(resultset))<class 'PyIUnknown'>>>> print(resultset)<PyIUnknown at 0x0000003C47ABAC30 with obj at 0x0000003C47EAFF18>

---


How can I read it's data?

Otherwise, which type I need to use in VB.Net to be able to read a Python
list containing dictionaries from win32com?


Thank you for your help.

Stefano
