Python 2.5.1 can't find win32file?

[samwyse]

I just upgraded from 2.4.something to 2.5.1. I get the stuff below.
I tried easy-installing pywin32; same results. Anyone know what's
going on?

Interestingly enough, this works:

C:\Python25>path=%path%;C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pywin32-210-
py2.5-win32.eg
g\pywin32_system32

It looks like the system search path isn't getting updated so that
PYWINTYPES25.DLL can be found when win32file.pyd is loaded.

Anyone have any ideas?

If you just want to update your PATH, you can do that from My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and just update PATH for your user (or all users if you prefer).

Well, I was hoping for something a bit more general. I'd've thought
that anyone loading a DLL would set the Windows path beforehand, and
that it would all be magically taken care of during the installation.
For now, I'm putting this before my 'import' statement:
os.environ['PATH'] += r';C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pywin32-210-
py2.5-win32.egg\pywin32_system32'

I may be wrong, but I think eggs don't support external dlls. I don't use
eggs, and downloading and installing pywin32 has always worked for me.
