copied!<p>PyWin32 is the way to go - but how to use it? One approach is to begin with a concrete problem you're having and attempting to solve it. PyWin32 provides bindings for the Win32 API functions for which there are many, and you really have to pick a specific goal first.</p> <p>In my Python 2.5 installation (ActiveState on Windows) the win32 package has a Demos folder packed with sample code of various parts of the library. </p> <p>For example, here's CopyFileEx.py:</p> <pre><code>import win32file, win32api import os def ProgressRoutine(TotalFileSize, TotalBytesTransferred, StreamSize, StreamBytesTransferred, StreamNumber, CallbackReason, SourceFile, DestinationFile, Data): print Data print TotalFileSize, TotalBytesTransferred, StreamSize, StreamBytesTransferred, StreamNumber, CallbackReason, SourceFile, DestinationFile ##if TotalBytesTransferred > 100000: ## return win32file.PROGRESS_STOP return win32file.PROGRESS_CONTINUE temp_dir=win32api.GetTempPath() fsrc=win32api.GetTempFileName(temp_dir,'cfe')[0] fdst=win32api.GetTempFileName(temp_dir,'cfe')[0] print fsrc, fdst f=open(fsrc,'w') f.write('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n'*32768) f.close() ## add a couple of extra data streams f=open(fsrc+':stream_y','w') f.write('yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy\n'*32768) f.close() f=open(fsrc+':stream_z','w') f.write('zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\n'*32768) f.close() operation_desc='Copying '+fsrc+' to '+fdst win32file.CopyFileEx(fsrc, fdst, ProgressRoutine, operation_desc, False, win32file.COPY_FILE_RESTARTABLE) </code></pre> <p>It shows how to use the CopyFileEx function with a few others (such as GetTempPath and GetTempFileName). From this example you can get a "general feel" of how to work with this library. </p>
