Hm. 
  c:\>python2 -S -m pip install --upgrade win32api
  Collecting win32api
    Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement win32api
    No distributions at all found for win32api

I think you mean 'pypiwin32'. Since:
  c:\>python2 -S -m pip install --upgrade pypiwin32
  Requirement already up-to-date: pypiwin32 in g:\programfiler\python27\lib\site-packages

So now, running 'setup.py install' in AsciiMatics' directory, all seems 
to install okay. 

But the samples have problems if launched from the sample directory!
It seems to be related to my Windows associations for .png files; 
'python2 win_demo.py' launches this:
  g:\util\Graphics\IrfanView\i_view32.exe 
  G:\Programfiler\Python27\Lib\site-packages\AsciiMatics\samples\python.png 
  G:\Programfiler\Python27\Lib\site-packages\AsciiMatics\samples\win_demo.py

Yes, all on 1 line. Notice the 'win_demo.py' is last!!?? But 
'python2 samples\win_demo.py' works fine (see attached screen-shot).
Allthough it messes up the screen's scrollback buffer. Similar to how
most PDcurses do on Windows :-(
