The Python for Windows Extensions

To supplement the standard Python distribution, there is a set of extensions specific to Microsoft Win32 platforms (currently Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98, and Windows CE).

These extensions actually consist of three discrete Python extensions: access to the native Win32 API, interfaces to COM, and the PythonWin GUI extensions. These are currently released as a single unit, in an installation package named win32all . Each specific release is given a build number that is incorporated into the installation name; at time of printing, the current build number is 128, so the installation package is named win32all-128.exe. By the time you read this, the build number is likely to have advanced, so install the version recommended by the web page when you connect. For obvious reasons, this package is also known as the “win32all package.”

The Python for Windows extensions can be found at http://www.python.org/windows and also at http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond.
