It is a set of Python modules that gives access to the Windows 
API, including COM functions. Using it you can create native 
Windows GUIs from Python or, more usefully, integrate with 
Windows Operating System features and other Windows 
programs like Powerpoint or Outlook.

It's pretty much essential if you want to interact with Windows 
at the OS level. (Although ctypes can also be used nowadays 
with a little bit extra effort)

pywin also includes the PythonWin IDE - a Windows specific 
tool similar to IDLE (but much better).

More details on the pywin web site. Also the author has an 
O'Reilly book (Python Programming on Win32) which covers 
many pywin features.

HTH,
