Im my Python file, I have imported the win32gui module like this:

import win32gui

I have also downloaded win32gui but don't know how to make my script run. How can I run my Python script which imports win32gui? When I run it, I get:

ImportError: No module named win32gui

Sorry for the newbie question but I'm trying to learn Python so don't know much about it.

When on a windows platform, I usually go for the executables. They should work all the time. Try perhaps one of the files listed here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build216/

It's the most recent build. Choose the one appropriate to your Python's version.
