Subject: win32all-130 for Python 1.6 available - DN [1]

 Hi all,
     To help encourage testing of Python 1.6, I have made a
 version of win32all available.  This should also be considered
 alpha!

 It is available via
 http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html -
 from that page:

 For Python 1.6 only.  If you want a version for Python 1.5.2, see
 win32all-128.  Like Python 1.6 itself, this should be considered
 alpha. This co-exists fine with Python 1.5 and any of the 1.5
 win32all builds.  All my testing shows no problems with 1.5 and
 1.6 installed concurrently.

 NOTE: The installer will copy Python16.dll from the Python
 directory to your system32 directory.  I couldn't even make the
 installer load Python16.dll from the Python directory, let alone
 Pythonwin or COM objects!

 This build has dropped the local Unicode object defined in
 pywintypes in favour of the built-in Python Unicode object.
 Win32com code no longer converts Unicode objects to strings.  The
 COM test suite works fine, which indicates the long awaited
 string-and-unicode integration is complete!

 The version of Pythonwin in this build has some significant new
 features, mainly thanks for a new Scintilla.  Source-code folding
 is very cool, and each editor window now has a horizontal
 splitter for a second view of the file!  A number of debugger
 bugs have been fixed.

 Please let me know of any problems...

 Thanks,

 Mark.
