[python-win32] pywin32 und pypiwin32: what is the difference?

[tritium-list at sdamon.com]

Pypiwin32 is a repackaging of pywin32 to use sane packaging tools (namely
wheels).  Its repackaged by the BDFL of the Twisted project.  If you use
pip, or virtualenvs (and you should be using pip and virtualenvs, if you are
not, start), use pypiwin32.

Subject: [python-win32] pywin32 und pypiwin32: what is the difference?

 

Hello!

 

When looking at an upgrade of pyinstaller, I came across this sentence:

“ForWindows, PyWin32 or the more recent pypiwin32, is a prerequisite”

 

What is the difference between these two?

 

I find pypiwin at

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32

where I find build 219 dating around New year 2015

 

giving http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ as the home page of the
project, where I find

 

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20219/

from spring 2014.

 

What should I use?

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
