Hi Bernard,

There was some previous discussion about this on the main Python newsgroup
around 2002:

    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-May/106238.html
    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-May/106257.html

I'm not sure if this situation has improved much since then; you may want
to check with the python-win32 list and see what they say:

Good luck to you!
