How to use the win32gui module with Python?

Im my Python file, I have imported the win32gui module like this:

import win32gui

I have also downloaded win32gui but don't know how to ma开发者_如何学Pythonke my script run. How can I run my Python script which imports win32gui? When I run it, I get:

ImportError: No module named win32gui

Sorry for the newbie question but I'm trying to learn Python so don't know much about it.

When on a windows platform, I usually go for the executables. They should work all the time. Try perhaps one of the files listed here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build216/

It's the most recent build. Choose the one appropriate to your Python's version.

this is a module from Marc Hammond's well-known pywin32 extension module, you can also get the source and compile it quite easily (I found I needed to do this because I needed a 64 bit build and couldn't find one at the time). The mercurial address to get it is:

http://pywin32.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/pywin32/pywin32

there are visual studio project files in the .\pywin32\win32 directory...
