Hi all,
I'm happy to announce the release of pywin32 build 219. This release
has addressed a number of bugs with previous builds, has added a number
of new features (thanks mainly to Roger Upole), has a new version of
adodbapi (thanks to Vernon Cole) and has improved support for installing
with Python 3.4 - I've appended the change log at the end of this mail.
Downloads are available at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20219/
For initial support (eg, to ask questions about the release etc), please
contact this mailing-list (python-win32@python.org). If you want to
report a bug, please do so at https://sf.net/projects/pywin32.
As always, thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, both in
terms of code and reporting bugs to the tracker. As usual, Roger Upole
contributed a huge number of fixes and enhancements for this release -
thanks!
Cheers,
Mark

programs for reading and writing .xls spreadsheets and reading ACCESS

is64bit.os() to help pick the correct drivers.
