There is a new build of the Python Extensions for Windows available at
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond  All sources are also updated.

This is largely a "stability" release over build 124.  The main focus has
been on fixing bugs, and new functionality has only been added where the
chances of breakage are tiny.

The key changes are listed below.  If there are any problems, please let me
know ASAP.

Thanks,

Mark.

* Installation changes: Installer now seeks out duplicate winerror.py files
(a common source of installation errors when dynwin is installed).  Also
refuses to install if pywintypes15.dll or pythoncom15.dll exist in the
system directory.

* Numerous editor fixes in Pythonwin

* win32net module now offers very complete coverage of Windows NT Networking
APIs, and a new demo.

* win32wnet and wincerapi added.  win32wnet from Scott Cothrell even
includes demos and HTML documentation.

* DCOM has better support via win32com.client.DispatchEx() - see the COM
readme.

* Few bugs in win32com.server.policy mean events should now work correctly!
Event test item works again.

* Active Scripting bugs that prevented global members working fixed.  Active
Debugging didn’t work with 1.5.2 - fixed!
