Hi Bernard, There was some previous discussion about this on the main Python newsgroup around 2002: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-May/106238.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-May/106257.html I'm not sure if this situation has improved much since then; you may want to check with the python-win32 list and see what they say: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 Good luck to you! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
