It looks like there's already a "Useful Modules" page on the wiki:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/

I could put the win32 stuff in there under the Platform Specific -->
Windows sub-header, I suppose. Or maybe the documentation page? I

Whatever I end up doing, it'll have to be one of these evenings after
work is done. I'll let you know somehow.
