I think it only supports checkout, nothing else.  But that in itself is 
useful.  I was able to modify it to support Perforce as follows:

What I did was to replace the Visual SourceSafe-specific "vss.py" file in 
Pythonwin/pywin/framework/editor with the file below.  Then I selected the 
"VSS Integration" checkbox in the Options.  Then I restarted 
Pythonwin.  Now, whenever I try to edit a read-only file, Pythonwin 
automatically asks me if I want to check out the file, and if I say Yes, it 
checks it out in Perforce.

If you're a Perforce user, you can use this replacement vss.py file as-is.

If you want the Pythonwin GUI to actually say "Perforce" instead of "VSS", 
you're on your own.  I didn't care enough to bother.
