Hi,
Sorry to be dense, but I assume you mean the ActiveState cookbook at
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/python/ ?
He's probably referring to "ActivePython":

Thanks, Mike.
Michel, thanks for the tip. Having my users install the ActivePython
distribution isn't really a better solution, as I'd just be replacing
"install pywin32" with "install ActivePython".
Instead, I'm looking for a way to use distutils to install my module
on a user's computer, and at the same time, install the necessary bits
of pywin32 so that COM object consumption and COM event registration
are supported. That way, the user just types
easy_install <my_package_name>
and voila, everything is in place.
If this doesn't exist yet for pywin32, I might be willing to have a go
at writing the patch, if I had some pointers. Perhaps it would be
possible to make a distutils pywin32 package which turned around,
downloaded the install executable, and ran it; then module developers
could install_requires pywin32 and it would Just Work. I'm new to
distutils, pywin32, and COM, but I'm willing to learn :)
Any more ideas, anyone?
Michael
I think easy_install supports a lot of that. If you set up your
"setup.py" file correctly, it will try to download what you want or give
a message to the user to do it manually. Getting just bits and pieces of
pywin32 probably isn't something that it supports, however. And I don't
think Hammond has an egg version of Pywin32 either...if there was one,
then easy_install would work.
