I have very little experience building software for Windows, and zero experience using the Windows API, but I’m reasonably familiar with Python. How should I go about learning to use the Windows API with Python?
Honestly, no. The Windows API is an 800 pound monster covered with hair. Charlie Petzold’s 15 pound book was the canonical reference once upon a time.
That said, the Python for Windows folks have some good material. Microsoft has the whole API online, including some sample code and such. And the Wikipedia article is a good overview.
