Mark Hammond <mhamm...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: the pywin32 DLLs have 2 heads. They are Python extension modules as well as regular DLLs. They are built by distutils and therefore have no manifests - I think many packages use distutils to build their extension modules - it is just that they usually don't have a .dll extension.
I fear that simply adding a manifest to those DLLs will put them in the same position we have before issue4120 was addressed, and these .dlls do need a way to be installed into System32 (or somewhere else on the global PATH) to function as COM servers etc. I need to experiment with this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7833> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
