Oops - my mistake! Please see pywintypes.h, where you will find a block:
// As of Python 2.6, Python switched to 'wchar_t' for unicode. Some old // win32 structures that still use 'unsigned short' now fail from C++ with // VS8 so we provide a couple of helpers. // XXX - but, when trying to use VC2003 with x64, the SDK x64 compiler // reports itself as 14.00.40310.41 - so this breaks under that compiler // Its not clear how to resolve this, but while VS2003 is the default // compiler, that is what must work. #if 0 // and _MSC_VER >= 1400 . Sadly, I can't think of anything to test that works in all cases, so you will need to manually enable that block. Any ideas regarding what to test for would be appreciated.

Cheers, Mark I downloaded the CVS tree on Nov 9th, and I am building with that. How does LPCWSTR relate to Py_UNICODE? win32/src/win32apimodule.cpp(1266) : error C2664: 'GetFileAttributesW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Py_UNICODE *' to 'LPCWSTR' Andrew From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MACKEITH Andrew Sent: Saturday, 10 November 2007 5:58 AM To: python-win32@python.org Subject: [python-win32] Compiling win32 extensions I am compiling the win32 extensions on 32 bit windows using Microsoft Visual Studio 8 (AKA .Net 2005) I have had some problems with paths, but managed to solve these by manually adding paths to the registry.
