<div><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" size="2">We don't support compiled Python modules (PYD's or PYC's, I'm not sure which one pywin32 is though I'd bet PYD) and isn't anything we'll support before 1.0. But if it's access to Win32 you want, there's a large
amount of Win32 exposed through the .NET APIs that you can access directly by importing the appropriate namespaces (and adding references to the appropriate assemblies if it's not mscorlib or System).

<div>I posted this on the <span class="fontsize3"><b><a class="gl" href="http://groups.google.co.za/group/comp.lang.python" target="_blank">comp.lang.python</a>
</b></span>list yesterday but am not sure if that is the correct list to have posted on, so apologies for the cross-post but I would really appreciate some help on this.<br>
<br>
<p><font class="fixed_width" face="Courier, Monospaced">I have Python 2.4 installed on my local machine in c:\Python24. I have
<br>
also downloaded the python for windows extensions installer <br>
pywin32-208.win32-py2.4.exe and installed this to <br>
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages <br>
</font></p>
<p><font class="fixed_width" face="Courier, Monospaced">Trying to run a python script through a C# console app is causing me
<br>
problems: the last line of code in the following block results in a no <br>
module named win32ap error. I'm not sure if this is because there is no <br>
win32api.py in the win32 folder off site-packages, just a win32api.pyc <br>
file. <br>
