I'm trying to add win32com to Python 2.7. After looking at this, I added the directory with the _init file (Python27\Lib\site-packages\win32com) but I still get it. I went so far as to try to add a bunch of different folders to the path that seem to have to deal with win32com but I still get the error. If it knows where the file is and I added that folder to PYTHONPATH, why is this happening? I'm using PyDev with Eclipse Juno. My code:
import win32com.client
print("hello world")
when I try to run this, i get this error
Traceback (most recent call last):

Try installing ActivePython, it includes win32com:
The Python for Windows Extensions (PyWin32 version 214). The interface to the Win32 API (win32api). The interfaces to Win32 COM (win32com and win32comext). The Pythonwin Development Environment.
*ActivePython is fully binary compatible with python.org Python builds to ensure that 3rd-party binary extensions just work*
