Hi ... I'm using pythoncom to create a python COM server application that needs to be able to return large arrays to COM client apps. For example, I need to be able to return an array to Excel that is 500 by 10, with each element of the array holding a 32 byte string.
If I run the code for smaller arrays, say 10 by 10, it works fine. If I allow the server to try to return the entire 500 by 10 array, pythonw.exe causes a memory access violation and dies and I get an "automation exception" error message in the client app. I assume I'm violating some upper limit for data transfer from pythoncom into COM. Anyone know if such limitations exist? Is there a way around them? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks Alastair p.s. 1st message on comp.lang.python, indeed 1st message on any news group -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
