It is very difficult to discern attitude and intent through email.  I
agree he was impatient, but I don't think you can necessarily say he was
mocking.

Can you describe where you saw instructions that said exactly that?  As
has been pointed out earlier, the "pywin32" package does not contain an
import package called win32.  For example, if you want to launch Excel
as a COM object, you say:

    import win32com.client
    xxx = win32com.client.Dispatch( "Excel.Application" )

Have you actually installed the PyWin32 extensions to Python?  They
aren't included in the raw distributions.

The Win32 extensions to Python live in import packages that are not
called "win32".

Now, it is QUITE possible that the IDE you are using has its own
extension called "win32".  If so, we wouldn't know anything about that
in this forum.  You'd have to check the IDE's documentation.
