Hi,

For my project work / application testing, instead of doing it manually i
am trying to automate it. I want to use win32com APIs through python
package (pywin32).

What is the license clause if this python script will be used to test a
commercial Application development?

There are two aspects:

1. Usage of win32com APIs (of course running machine has valid Microsoft
softwares)
2. Usage of python package (pywin32) inside my test script. On
https://pypi.org/project/pywin32/ it mention as "OSI Approved :: Python
Software Foundation License" for pywin32. My understanding is that it
allows me to use it without any acknowledgement required as I am just using
the package. OR if required, i can acknowledge in my testing pacakge about
usage of pywin32 package and to do so, what license file should i copy in
my testing package?

I wanted to be sure that this allows in creating scripts to test commercial
product and if internally allows Microsoft license.

Regards,
Adil
