Where to find the win32api module for Python?


Many Python scripts and examples contain import win32api. However, from the name it is not directly clear what this library is or which library it is part of. What is the win32api module and where can it be found / how can it be installed?

(NB: This also applies to the win32con and win32file modules.)


Solution

  • 'pywin32' is its canonical name.
