I believe there's confusion afoot.

Pythonwin <URL: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonWin > is a
Python-oriented editor for Windows.  Mark bundles Pythonwin
with a couple of other equally-intriguing pieces to make
pywin32.  When I read, "win32 extensions for python", I think
of what Mark labels "win32api".  I'm reasonably certain that,
in this case, steve had in mind specifically the editor, and
*not* all of win32all--although he'll surely want to know that
the canonical way to retrieve it is as part of pywin32 as a
whole.
