[python-win32] How to set value with PyIPropertyStore

[Peng Chen]

Hi Tim,
Thanks, this works!
But now the set value part gives access denied.
I checked around, it seems the file needs to be opened in GPS_READWRITE mode
in order to write info to the file.
So I tried:
from win32comext.shell import shellcon
properties = propsys.SHGetPropertyStoreFromParsingName(
        file_name, Flags=shellcon.GPS_READWRITE)
it reported:
SHGetPropertyStoreFromParsingName() takes no keyword arguments

then I tried
    riid = ""
    ctx = None
    properties = propsys.SHGetPropertyStoreFromParsingName(
        file_name, ctx, shellcon.GPS_READWRITE, riid)
it reported:
(-2147221005, 'Invalid Class String', None, None)

sorry for the different issues, possible to take a look on this?

Thanks!
