Hi all,

I am trying to install pywin for using bots-dirmonitor in Windows.

When I just do "pip install pywin" it fails with the error "urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: SSL is required".

Therefore I downloaded the pywin-0.3.1.zip file and changed the distribute_setup.py file to use https instead of http for the url to download.

Unfortunately trying to install the modified version with "pip install C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\pywin-0.3.1_c.zip" results in another error: "NameError: name 'sys_platform' is not defined".

Is there a way to install it and get it working?

Thanks & best regards

Alexander

Yes, it is.

But as the last release of pywin is from Mar 31, 2013 I thought I ask here whether anyone knows how to get this working.
