Warning
This is alpha documentation. All the examples should be correct, but the whole document is in state of flux and may change without notice. The source is hosted at http://code.google.com/p/python-on-windows-docs where you can also post issues. Checkins and issues are mirrored to the mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/python-on-windows-docs where you can also discuss the project.
Using Python under Windows is straightforward and powerful, thanks to the hard work put in over the years by the core Python development and documentation teams and especially to the developers of the pywin32 extensions. However, documentation is one of those things which there’s never quite enough of, and the community answers the same questions again and again on the Python mailing lists. This community-produced documentation set presents a solution-oriented basis for helping Python developers to make use of the really quite extensive capabilities available to them under Windows.
Aside from the bookends of introductions and acknowledgements, the document falls into two broad areas. Programming Areas presents solution-oriented examples using principally the core Windows API with as few external modules as possible. Third-Party Modules - STUB has information and tips on using third-party modules and applications in a Windows environment.
You can either look at the Table of Contents, or just plunge straight in with Getting Started. This documentation is built using Sphinx, the toolchain which is used for Python’s own documentation. Among other things, it generates a coherent navigation structure, a searchable index, and uses ReStructuredText sources which can be viewed on any page, so any changes you want to suggest are easy to format.
