[python-win32] How to search Windows file structure (with existing indexes)

[Dolezal, Vojtech]

Hello,

thank you so much for your reply.

I completely missed the fact installing pywin32 also installed adodbapi, that was a crucial information with which I managed to do what I needed.

Best regards,

Vojtěch Doležal

Because pywin32 is required for adodbapi to operate, it was merged into pywin32 several years ago. Installing a current version of pywin32 will install adodbapi as part of it. It will appear as a separate module in the Python site-packages library tree.

I have never tried accessing the Windows file directory, which I think might be what you refer to, but I have accessed some Active Directory information as tables using adodbapi.

In short, anything for which you can find a connection string and a driver ought to give you tabular data.

Good afternoon,

is it possible to search Windows file structure with use of indexes where available?

There seems to be package named adodbapi which supposedly allowed for this, but according to its SourceForge page (https://sourceforge.net/projects/adodbapi/) it is now part of pywin32. However I didn't find any information about this in the pywin32 documentation, and I am unable to install the adodbapi package itself.
