You don't need ActivePython for PythonWin - in fact you've never
strictly needed it.  ActivePython just happened to include it in their
consolidated package.  But you could always download the Win32
extensions separately and install them on top of a standard Python
installation (in fact that's the only way I've ever used them).

Mark's pages are at http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/ where
you can download the extensions for any Python release (1.5.2, 2.0,
2.1 and 2.2).  When he left ActivePython, these pages once again
became the authoritative source for the extensions (as they were
before he moved to ActivePython).

(Mark's pages are also referenced from the main http://www.python.org
Python site under the download section in the Windows topic).
