Hello all,
I am currently using WinXP and python 2.6.2
I just installed PyWin32 v214 for python 2.6 from the following link:

Hi, Katt. Thanks for posting back over here. I must admit,
I hadn't realised you were posting to the tutor list when
I answered your question originally. (I subscribe to several
Python lists and they come into the same mailbox). I rather
assumed you were an experienced programmer who just wanted
this snippet of win32 info. I'd have been a bit more explanatory
if I'd realised.
No harm done. No I can't imagine just asking for the code. I mean how
would I learn anything. I would rather struggle, then post the code that I
was trying and get nudged in the right direction. You learn more from your
failures than your successes.
It looks like you've got some useful advice from other people
which will hopefully take you somewhere, but some more general
advice: it's always a good idea to explain what you're trying to
Yes, I got some great advice. I also like the fact that everyone tries to
point you in the right direction versus just giving you code. That helps me
as a beginner in providing me with new exercises which you don't find to
much of in the tutorials.
Thanks for the advice. I will try to be more verbose in the future in what I
am trying to do so I don't come off as an experienced programmer trying to
snag some free code.
Btw, I am just learning on my own not through any classes. So far I have
learned alot from two of the five tutorials that I have read so far(Josh
Cogliati's: Non-Programmer's Tutorial for Python and Alan Gauld's: Tutor -
May 27, 2007).
Good luck and keep posting back here with questions if you
have them
You bet. When I finish the date reminder program that I am working on I
will be asking about working with the EasyGUI and the pywin32.
Thanks again,
Katt
