I don't know exactly what a COM object is, but those aren't them. The

The excel call returns a tuple of tuples. That is, the outer tuple is
the sequence of rows, and each such row is itself a tuple with one

I am new to Python and have to create an import library in C that uses
matrices.
These matrices can be one-dimensional (vectors) or two-dimensional. If I
look in the ActivePython 2.4 documentation at data structures, then I see at
least 2 posibilities to represent them: Lists and Tuples.

Well that looks quite nice, so I'll work that into my script. Thanks!!!
That 1-tuple business was confusing me, and I was getting errors stating
something about converting an object, so as you can see, I was grasping

Use lists. Tuples are meant for small immutable sets of things that go
together. Lists are more like arrays, and you can assign to one

Hi Clinton,
If I was you, I would stick for a little while with python 2.3 untill
Blender 2.40 gets stable. In the meantime you can use Movable Python
(python on an usb stick) to program in Python 2.4:

But I guess Blender will become stable soon.

Hello All,
I am comming back to python after being away for several years.
I would like to use weak refs in an observer pattern implementation.
The problme that I have seems to be that weakrefs can't manage functions.
