[issue21050] Failure to import win32api (from pywin32)

[Thomas Heller]

Thomas Heller added the comment:

It was most certainly an issue on my side, something with leftover files or directories from a previous installation.  After cleaning everything up it works now.  Sorry for the confusion.

(A personal remark: sometimes, the bdist_wininst uninstaller does not remove all directories that it has created - possibly because there are files leftover which the installer didn't create and so the uninstaller does not remove.  This leaves directories on sys.path which have no __init__.py? files, but they can be imported as 'namespace module' although they no functionality.  I don't find this useful...)
