This is the readme for the Python for Win32 (pywin32) extensions source code.
See [CHANGES.md] for recent changes.
setup.py
is a standard distutils build script. You probably want to:
python setup.py install
or
python setup.py --help
These extensions require the same version of MSVC as used for the
corresponding version of Python itself. Some extensions require a recent
"Platform SDK" from Microsoft, and in general, the latest service packs
should be installed, but run setup.py
without any arguments to see
specific information about dependencies. A vanilla MSVC installation should
be able to build most extensions and list any extensions that could not be
built due to missing libraries - if the build actually fails with your
configuration, please log a bug via https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/new.
