I just downloaded the source code and browsed it.  It is Microsoft lock-in 
shit, which
even if it could be ported to MingW, would not be good for communitity of KiCad 
python
scripters.

wxPython the stuff coming from python.org, seems enough for me.  I am now 
officially
opposed to getting anywhere near pywin32 for this KiCad project.

We want to build a base of scripts which are cross platform, and re-usable by 
other KiCad
users, running KiCad on platforms other than Windows.

pywin32 is the antithesis of that:  MFC, COM, DCOM, etc., all shit I left 
behind me 17
years ago.  And I mean shit.
