Hello!
I am trying to do some updates of some systems that utilize pypiwin32
and python 2.7 and I have some confusion about how to go about this.
First, a few things:
What is the difference between pypiwin32 and pywin32? Is it just
packaging in wheel format?
pypiwin32 is a "fork" of pywin32 which existed purely to have support
for pypi. @xoviat helped roll the necessary changes into pywin32 itself,
so pypiwin32 is effectively deprecated.
Why does https://github.com/Googulator/pypiwin32/releases show 220 as
latest, but https://pypi.org/project/pypiwin32/#files shows 223?
As part of helping the migration, pywin32 builds with wheel support were
also added to pypiwin32, but that's unlikely to continue happening.
Is that not the official repo for pypiwin32?
It is, but pypiwin32 isn't really official. You should move to using
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywin32 which is built from
https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32 - although note that the wheels
aren't directly on github - the pywin32 release process builds both
executable installers and wheels with the former uploaded only to github
and the latter uploaded only to pypi. If there was a good reason to put
the wheels directly on github, I'd be happy to also do that for future
releases.
HTH,
Mark
