What's win32con module in python? Where can I find it?

Question

I\'m building an open source project that uses python and c++ in Windows. I came to the following error message:

 ImportError: No module named win32con 


        

Answer 1

This module contains constants related to Win32 programming. It is not part of the Python 2.6 release, but should be part of the download of the pywin32 project.

Edit: I imagine that the executable is an installation program, though the last time I downloaded pywin32 it was just a zip file.

Answer 2

Ok I stumbled here twice for installs on two machines so here is a quick link for that ressource

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/

This is the actual download page of the project and now a readme download

Answer 3

Note that the Pywin32 download page contains installers for version 2.6 (i386 and AMD64). The ActiveState distribution is a single installer that includes pywin32 - currently at version 2.5.2.

Answer 4

navigate to: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib and copy the win32con.py file into your project directory.

Answer 5

pip install pypiwin32

Glyph had packed packed it until somebody sends patch to build wheels as part of pywin32 build process to close https://sourceforge.net/p/pywin32/bugs/680/

Answer 6

The PyWin32 download references including project references are found in the pypi registry.
