PyWin32 Description
PyWin32 (otherwise known as Python for Windows extensions), is a non-traditional way to extend Python’s range of capabilities, readying it to manage COM objects.
The advantage of having this package installed on your system is that it allows you to communicate with any COM-enabled application, as well as to implement your own COM servers.
Put differently, PyWin32 ties the COM protocol and Python together, enlarging the array of development possibilities as far as Python is concerned.
PyWin32 addresses developers who are seeking for new ways to take advantage of Python and makes itself available for multiples versions of the IDE, from older ones to the latest edition of the programming language.
Also worth mentioning is that new releases of Python are always followed by updates for PyWin32, courtesy of the developer.
Getting the extensions accommodated on the system isn’t a difficult task; users who are familiar with Python related solutions shouldn’t encounter any trouble during deployment.
Simply run it with the following arguments: setup.py install or setup.py — help in order to fetch a few installation / usage recommendations and tips.
Once deployment is finalized, you can start new development projects and use this package of extension to call COM programs, build interfaces for existent Python code or develop servers.
