As it happens I've been using Windows APIs for a few years,
so I have a bit of a head start. But I've answered quite
a few questions on python-win32 by putting the subject line
into Google, picking a likely-looking response and translatin

Tim,
How did you learn Win32com?
Other than the O'Reilly book, I've never found a lot of
documentation.
Trying to browse COM in PythonWin is tough - there's tons of stuff in

I have a general problem with using win32com. It's the documentation.
I never know what is available, what classes, methods, what they do.
Even some of the existing documentat

I agree, you're right. I learn more by figuring out the code myself.

How about:
import os.path
handle = open(os.path.expanduser(r'~\DeskTop\somefile.txt'), 'w')

a windows machine to get to the current users desktop directory. I'm not

I open a file in a python script. I want the new file's location to be
on the user's desktop in a Windows XP environment. fileHandle = open
(., 'w' ) what I guess I'm looking for is an environmental
variable that will usually be correct on most XP
