ActiveState -- Programming for the People

ActiveState provides a Windows oriented Python release that is easy to install and get
started.  They consider their 2.2 to be an Alpha release and have not yet released 2.1.2.
The simplest solution is too simply wait for them to get things packaged up.

Otherwise, Mark Hammond just released his win32all packages with a security update

Win32 Extensions for Python

I am installing his 2.2 update along with the regular Python 2.2 release, but have not
yet tested it with my existing Python code.  (I have been using 2.0).  If you do not
have too much code at risk from the recent language changes, I would go to 2.2
