python win32 extensions documentation [closed]

Question

I'm new to both python and the python win32 extensions available at http://python.net/crew/skippy/win32/ but I can't find any documentation online or in the installation directories concerning what exactly the win32 extensions provide. Where is this information?

Answer 1

You'll find documentation here: http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.4/pywin32/PyWin32.HTML

(Note: most of the API docs are under 'modules' and 'objects'. Note that the documentation is very sparse here but rembember: since it's only a wrapper on top of the win32 API --> the 'full' documentation is also on the MSDN website, google should be helpful...)

Answer 2

Python Programming On Win32 from O'Reilly is a great, if dated, book on the subject. I've read it and is very good.

Its not documentation, per se, but its really useful for a good introduction to COM programming with Python, among other advanced stuff.
