Python for Windows Extensions
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
Python for Windows Extensions (aka. "pywin32") is a set of libraries
|
||||
which allows access to the Win32 API etc.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the Rattail File Monitor then you *will* need to install
|
||||
pywin32. It may be optional if you have other aims, but it is
|
||||
generally recommended for everyone on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Which Version?
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
As with Python itself, you are encouraged to use the "latest stable"
|
||||
version of pywin32 unless you have a reason to be more conservative.
|
||||
|
||||
Other than that you just need to make sure the Python version you
|
||||
have, matches that required by the pywin32 version you have. And the
|
||||
"bitness" must match as well, i.e. 32bit vs. 64bit.
|
||||
|
||||
As of this writing Python 3.9 with pywin32 302 is the "latest" combo
|
||||
tested in production. That is the situation "today" (Oct 2021) and
|
||||
eventually should change.
|
||||
|
||||
As with Python itself, you will not likely need to "upgrade" pywin32
|
||||
anytime soon. If you install 302 for instance then it should continue
|
||||
to work fine for the forseeable future.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Download the appropriate installer from
|
||||
`<https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/releases>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Right-click the installer file and choose "Run as administrator" to
|
||||
launch it.
|
||||
|
||||
All defaults should be fine; click through to complete the
|
||||
installation.
