I just downloaded pyWin32 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/) and started to install it.
My first question: does anybody know, where I can get specific pyWin32-support? I can’t see/find anything at sourceforge.
2nd question: Did anybody of you encounter the problem, that h2py.py ran into an syntax-error during installation?
I get this msg:

But when I look into the mentioned h2py.py I can’t see any syntax-error (of course!! 🙂 )
So, has anybody any idea how I could cope with this? That’d be great! 🙂
TIA
Ben
Why do you need to build? Why not just install the pre-built binaries by downloading and executing
pywin32-214.win32-py2.6.exe? It works perfectly for me.
