Where is `ctypes.com` ?

Hello !

Recently I found a code snippet [1]_ illustrating integration between
Python and COM technology in Win32 systems. I tried to reproduce it
and I can't import module `ctypes.com`.

Q:

- Is it (`ctypes.com`) distributed with stdlib ?

If that's true then I'm affraid that those py files were removed
somehow (accidentally ? who knows ? ) ...

Thnx in advance !

.. [1] ctypes.win32.com.server @ Py
(http://svn.python.org/projects/ctypes/tags/release_0_6_2/ctypes/win32/com/server.py)

First, the python-dev mailing list is used for developing the Python language
itself, not developing WITH Python. For questions about developing with Python,
please use the newsgroup comp.lang.python.

ctypes.com is very old and has been superseeded by the comtypes
package: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/comtypes/

An even more popular package for using COM with python is
pywin32: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

I apologize if needed ... but I didn't ask about «how to program
things using `ctypes.com` ». I asked here because you are the ones who
should know about modules in stdlib . That's why I thought that it was
not «very» OT

Yes, I've just tried that one, but the fact is that I'm experiencing a
problem with it (that I won't detail in here because this is not the
list to talk about such subjects , isn't it ? ... just learning fast
... :P ) and I thought I could switch to that one ...

Thnx very much for your reply !
