Create region in AutoCAD using pyautocad (Python)

Hi,

According to the documentation for the "AddRegion" method provided on AutoCAD2022 Developer and ObjectARX Help: "https://help.autodesk.com/view/OARX/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-74C8765E-EB4A-4773-ADD4-6C0F318FE6BE"

we need to pass the safearray of objects to Block or Modelspace to create a region.

Since I have been working on documenting the use of pyautocad as a means to automate AutoCAD tasks, I want to perform the same operation using python. But none of the python-based data structures (e.g. List, Tuples, Sets etc.) worked for adding a region. Also, I tried creating a customized array using "win32com" module, still no satisfactory output. Can anyone please guide me through this?

Thanks in advance.

Many thanks for the response, Sir.

Can you please also tell me how to get a Region object in return? Because the AddRegion does not return a Region object but an Array of Variants.

Thanks in advance!
