Hey there. I've been programming in Python for about a month now. I've created simple programs for myself, such as games and e-mail applications. Still getting GUI down, I'll post if I need help there. Anyways, here's my problem:
Running: Windows XP
Python: Python 2.6

I installed the newest version of the Python for Windows Applications for v2.6 of Python. That went fine. It includes the module pythoncom, which I require. However, when I try to import pythoncom, I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#20>", line 1, in <module>
    import pythoncom
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pythoncom.py", line 2, in <module>
    import pywintypes
ImportError: No module named pywintypes

How do I fix this problem? I already searched Google for an answer, and got pretty much nothing. It took me forever to even find pythoncom to download.
Thanks

did you install the win32all package?

Um, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I installed the package from Source Forge, and I have a whole bunch of new modules, so I guess so.

Fixed it. Had to copy pywintypes.py, .pyc, and .pyo from:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib
to:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages
I then ran IDLE and typed:
import pythoncom
and it works fine :D

Hi,

I followed the same steps mentioned above, but still getting the same error:
ImportError: No module named pythoncom

Please suggest me how to resolve this error.

Thanks,
Eswari
