[python-win32] Python parser for Windows Event Logs

[Mark Hammond]

Check out the ReadEventLog code in win32evtlogutil.py - you will notice 
you need a loop like:

         while 1:
             objects = win32evtlog.ReadEventLog(h, readFlags, 0)
             if not objects:
                 break
