The idea of this page is to answer various of the How Do I...? questions relating to Python under Win32. Although I probably will cover some simpler things, the intention is to group subjects which are less commonly covered in the books and mailing lists. You could see it as a kind of infrequently-asked questions.
Where possible, the approach is to present a complete fragment of code which will run by itself and do something both useful and self-explanatory and which will illustrate the use of the technique or API calls in question. If more code is needed than will fit easily on a screen, I will usually give a module to download and will present code which uses that module.
As with the other examples on this site, these are designed to be cut-and-pasted straight into a .py file, or even onto an open Python interpreter window. However, either because of the nature of the code or for some irritating browser-related reason, not all examples will cut-and-paste directly into an interpreter. YMMV.
