For what it's worth, importing dde works from within the MFC demo application Pythonwin.exe, located in site-packages\pythonwin, which is where you'll also find the MFC DLLs and manifest, along with win32ui.pyd and dde.pyd. You'll probably find more help on the python-win32 mailing list: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 Or file a bug report on the SourceForge bug tracker for pywin32: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=78018&atid=551954 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
