Hi, This is a bug in the Python win32 extensions which was fixed 7 weeks ago by Mark Hammond. The suggested fix below is the one that has been checked in, too. :-) You can make the same change yourself and all will be well. I've just tested it myself and found that to be the case. I'm not sure when the next release of the Python win32 extensions is going to be since the last one was in 2009! See here for the diff
http://pywin32.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pywin32/pywin32/win32/Lib/win32verstamp.py?r1=1.5&r2=1.6 The reason this has come up now is because of the fact that I added support for stamping the code with a version resource. I could turn that off for Python 3 or catch the error and print a message indicating to fix the bug (I generally don't like this sort of code but this might be a good reason for such) or just modify the README.txt to add the warning in there. Any thoughts?
