How should I learn to use the Windows API with Python?

Question

I have very little experience building software for Windows, and zero experience using the Windows API, but I\'m reasonably familiar with Python. How should I go about learn

Answer 1

Umm...a lot of people have put the cart before the horse on this one. The question I have for you is: why do you want to learn Win32?

If you want to learn it so you can build Windows user interfaces, perhaps consider wxPython instead. If you only plan on calling into non-visual Win32 APIs then the Petzold book may not be the best. There are tools like SWIG that make calling libraries such as Win32 easier from languages like Python.
