makepy generates a __str__ method, which internally calls the __call__ method. The __call__ method can take arguments, while the __str__ method does not take arguments by default - str(obj) ↔ obj.__str__().
This works incorrectly, e.g. for the COM interface of an Autocad application where __call__ requires an Index argument.
# Default method for this class is 'Item'
def __call__(self, Index=defaultNamedNotOptArg):
'Gets the member object at a given index in a collection, group, or selection set'
ret = self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(0, LCID, 1, (9, 0), ((12, 1),),Index
)
if ret is not None:
ret = Dispatch(ret, '__call__', '{AB9F53A4-BA00-499B-BE4C-D178EC67FFCC}')
return ret
def __str__(self, *args):
return str(self.__call__(*args))
def __int__(self, *args):
return int(self.__call__(*args))
the same goes for __int__.
The __str__ and __int__ methods seem unnecessary for COM interfaces.
