Python for Windows Extensions
Welcome to the home-page for the Python for Windows extensions.
Here you can find:
- The download page for the Python for Windows extensions.
- A list of Frequently Asked Questions.
- A document that outlines the most common installation problems, including information on how to update COM on your PC should it be necessary.
- Instructions on how to build these extensions from the sources. You can obtain source releases via source-forge, or via CVS (see the instructions for using CVS for these sources)
There is also some (old) documentation you may like to check out.
For some details on Pythonwin (including embedding it in your own MFC
application and some MFC concepts) see www.python.org/windows/pythonwin/.
For some overviews of the Win32 API as exposed to Python, see www.python.org/windows/win32/
MFC DLLs for Pythonwin
To run Pythonwin, you may need a copy of the Microsoft MFC DLLs. You should only install these files if the install process tells you the DLL can not be found, or if Pythonwin fails to start due to this DLL missing.- For Python 2.3 the DLL is likely to already be installed - but if not, you can use mfc42.dll (995,383 bytes)
- For Python 2.4, the DLL is likely to not be installed - you need mfc71.dll (1,060,864 bytes)
