How to install pywin32 in virtualenv with python 2.7 64 bit?

Question

I wonder right way to install on virtualenv with 64 bit python 2.7 pywin32 module (Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit).
I\'ve found exe installer on Sourceforge.

This is an old question, but come across this problem recently and I want to share what I did to make this work. I was looking for python kerberos implementation on windows, and I found kerbeors_sspi that uses pywin32. all of this is installed using pip, but pywin32 can't be installed using pip inside the virtualenv.

So i patched the kerberos_sspi library to use pypiwin32, which is a wheel packaged by Glyph and el (twisted creator BTW). And now all of this works wonderfully, still if you want access the COM stuff you have to manually install pywin32 because it needs to be registered with the system.

Here is the link to the pypiwin32 index
