Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 514 and pywin32

2016-12-28 Thread Glenn Linderman 

Apparently the gohlke site had done the wheel convert, as they had a wheel.
The post-install steps were needed to make things work for me, and were 
documented at the gohlke site.


Thanks to both of you for your help.

Another workaround is to use "wheel convert" on the exe and then 
install the wheel. You miss out on their post-install steps, but most 
people don't need those anyway.


Cheers,

Try the 'gohlke' download site. Whenever getting stuck in some of the 
newest Python 3.x versions, that side usually has installers that 
work. It did work for me just now, using Python 3.6.0 64-bit on 
Windows 10 64-bit OS.

Seems like pywin32, although built for 3.6, doesn't understand or
conform to the PEP 514? So the installer doesn't work? I suspect
maybe the code would still work, if it would install. I also noted
that pip cannot find a compatible pywin32, and PyPI only reports
compatibility through Python 3.3.

1. Where should this be reported? SourceForge?
