Generally there are a few things you can do to help yourself with such things. There are some samples of win32 stuff in the win32all package, in the "Demos" directories. It's possible there is some support for that already. Google can also help you search the list archives to find whether others have asked this question in the past, as is almost always the case. Usually it helps to know the name of either the relevant module from the win32all package, or the relevant Win32 API which you can often get from the msdn.com site if you don't already know it. Finally, Googling the web instead of the newsgroup will often work very nicely. The best approach is to start with the subject line you are about to use for your posting plus the word Python (e.g. "python win32evtlog"). Let us know what you find out! -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
