Hi,
Generally speaking, if I were you I would avoid pywin32 and use ctypes for
accessing the Win32 API, because it is included in both Python 2.5 and
PythonCE 2.5. You would still need to handle differences between Windows and
Windows CE though, e.g. Unicode vs ANSI, kernel32 vs coredll, etc.
However, in this specific case that will not solve the problem because
Windows CE does not have any concept of environment variables, multiple
users or home directories.
