I am under the impression that most people shipping Windows Python applications do so using something like Pyinstaller or Py2Exe, which packages up something that looks to the end user like a single executable, but which actually contains a zip file with the necessary modules and DLLs. The zip file only contains the parts of pywin32 that are actually required by the application. If you’re shipping your application via pip on WIndows, then virtually everyone will already have pywin32. It is a critical component. — Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
