I agree. This list is about programming in Python on Windows, so
python-windows is an obvious name and one that a novice programmer can
easily recognize.
I think the name has yet to change because a lot of programmers still
refer to the Windows API as "Win32" instead of "WinAPI". Also, the
system directory on 64-bit Windows is still called "System32", and
many of the more well-known system DLLs still have "32" in the name,
such as the following:
shell32, ole32, kernel32, crypt32, opengl32,
user32, advapi32, win32spl, comctl32, comdlg32,
gdi32, rasapi32, w32time, wldap32, ws2_32,
tapi32, cfgmgr32, imm32, msvfw32, clfsw32,
netapi32, wtsapi32, mssign32, secur32, riched32
