Python Problem Overview


I cannot find pywin32 documentation or even a little synopsis of what the module is (I am aware its for win32 API stuff).

Is there any pywin32 documentation or resources? Maybe some examples?

Solution 1 - Python

The PyWin32 installation includes a .chm help file at [Pythonpath]\Lib\site-packages\PyWin32.chm.

The same info is online at http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/index.html

ActiveState used to keep this documentation online as well, including listings of modules and objects, but that seems to be taken offline.

Solution 2 - Python

There is a documentation for pywin32 on ActiveState :

and also a modules description and the list of objects

Solution 3 - Python

Sadly, DDE is not actually documented, anywhere http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.6/pywin32/dde.html

The doc strings are all empty:

    >>> dde.CreateServer.__doc__
    >>>
