pywin32
Python extensions providing access to Windows APIs, including COM, services, and system integration.
What is pywin32?
pywin32 is a Python extension package that provides access to Windows APIs, COM automation, and system services from within Python. It solves the problem of integrating Python applications with the Windows operating system, enabling automation of Windows-specific tasks and interaction with system components.
Python developers working on Windows platforms who need to automate system tasks, manage Windows services, or interact with COM objects and Windows APIs.
Developers choose pywin32 because it is the de facto standard for Python-Windows integration, offering comprehensive, reliable, and well-established access to Windows-specific functionality that is not available in the standard Python library.
