[PythonCE] Getting the win32 extensions working

[Luke Dunstan]

Download it and see for yourself: 
http://fore.validus.com/~kashtan/Python-2.3.4-arm-PPC2003.zip

It contains only the win32gui and win32event modules of the pywin32 package. 
What parts do you need, and what do you intend to use it for? It doesn't 
contain any of the other modules like win32security, com, win32ui, etc. but 
some of them would not be relevant on Windows CE anyway.

Ah. I've re-read that page and I can see I might have misunderstood
it. I was under the impression that you *had* to compile the sources
if you wanted the win32 extensions.Is this not the case? Do the
pre-compiled binaries already include the win32 stuff?

As a quick related question, do you have any idea how much of the
win32 extension module is supported under PythonCE? Fairly complete or
not?

cheers,
