Description
Hello,
while generating the Python type library equivalents for the MS Office object model (for x86) has always been a bit fragile, it appears that it does not work at all now, at least with Python 3.8 (not sure about recent 3.7s). The symptom is
TypeError: item 1 in _argtypes_ passes a union by value, which is unsupported.
This happens with methods on various interfaces (probably randomized by a dictionary hash somewhere). The common factor between all of them is that they have a VARIANT argument, and VARIANT is a union, of course.
I think the reason that it now fails reliably is the recent fix for https://bugs.python.org/issue16575.
Is there some way to work around this limitation, other than using pywin32 instead?
