Hi Mark,
Yes, I understand very well, knowing the patching dance so much more
than I'd like to...
In fact, 'win32/lib' is a folder, actually the only one which is not also a
package, and exactly this one does not show up in the install logs.
I have the impression that setuptools changed policy about 'py_modules',
if 'packages' is given, too. So I think 'win32/lib' is the only problem
here, because
it is the only thing that is not a package.
Will try to narrow this down after I am out of my urgent pressure.
What makes me nervous is that nobody else complained so far. Maybe it
was never
built again for a long time? There are the pre-built installers, but it
happened to me
that a VS2010 build was needed, and that caused all the grief ...
thanks for your very quick answer -- later - Chris

Hi Christian,
I'm a little reluctant to apply this patch as it stands - we rely on
setuptools doing the right thing for *all* "library" modules - eg, if
we need win32/lib/*.py, we presumably would need all other .py files
not listed here - eg, the entire win32com package, etc.
However, if you can't narrow this down any further, please upload it
to sourceforge, and I'll see if I can reproduce it next time I make a
build.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark and friends,
for a customer, I had to build pywin32 with VS2010, and when it finally
worked after some changes from https://wiki.python.org/moin/VS2010,
I still could not run
import win32con
I tried to find out why, to no success. I examined some older
installation logs
on my machine, and the installation of win32/lib was in fact done
correctly.
With the recent setuptools (tested with 1.2.1 and 1.3.2), the
'py_modules'
entry of setup.py seems to be ignored.
After pulling hair until I became almost bald, I ended up with the
following
patch to pywin32 version 217 (218 does not work for me, missing files):
Here is the patch if it makes sense to submit it here:

Subject: [PATCH] add win32/lib files.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This seems to be an incompatibility with recent setuptools. (tested
1.1.6 and 1.3.2)
Should be investigated further who has a bug here…
