Not sure if this is really your problem, but Pythonwin (your win32all.exe) is a
bunch of extensions wrapping several Windoze APIs. However, you have to install
the standard Python distribution *first*. 

You can download the "Python 1.5.2 installer for Windows (5.0 MB)" from

   http://www.python.org/1.5/

As a starting point, I'd suggest to run tools/idle/idle.py. It's a Python IDE
written in Python itself (using Tcl/Tk, which comes with the installer).

It seems that the download pages 

   http://www.python.org/1.5/  and
   http://www.python.org/download/download_windows.html

are somewhat ambigous. I'll send a note to the webmaster.
