[python-win32] [ANN] pywin32 build 217 released.

[Luc Kesters]

Hello Mark,

I installed the new pywin32.  I don't have a problem with pywin32 itself.
But when importing other packages (the ones I mentioned) I still have the 
problem (see below)
When I read the issues (see first message) it seemed to me a python problem 
and not a pywin32 problem. If I understand your answer correct, this isn't 
the case?
I should go back to the developers of the packages (I must say that the 
"manifest" issue, is somewhat too technical for me)
