I've installed pywin32 on Python 3.8, but when I try to import

Does anyone else have this problem?
I found the solution: copy pywintypes38.dll and pythoncom38.dll from
site-packages/pywin32_system32 into site-packages/win32.
The new os.add_dll_directory() function [1] is a way for pywin32 to work
around this themselves without having to relocate files. The note in the
doc also explains the cause.
Cheers,
Steve
