I have used pyWin for several years now with out issue. I recently installed build 216 for python 2.7 on windows XP pro. The program crashes every time I exit a wxPython program and has crashed a few other times.
There are a number of issues using Pythonwin to run a program which uses a different UI toolkit (eg, wx, Tkinter) and while these have been around for many years I don't plan on trying to fix it. IOW, "don't do that" :)
I does not seem that pyWin has been updated since February of this year. Is there a direction change for the windows extensions? Is it time I make the move to 3.x? Mark Hammond has given much to the Python community and I do not intend for this post to be negative in any way.
No problem. There have been no updates as there is very little to update (ie, the code hasn't change a huge amount in hg since then). There will probably be a new version in the next month or so, but that is quite orthogonal to whether you should move to 3.x - the 3.x version of Pythonwin hasn't been updated in the same period and is built from the same source tree, so is likely to have exactly the same problems (infact is likely to have a few more - there are probably a few 3.x specific issues still hiding away).
