I’ve found that UC Irvine has a great collection of python modules, pywin32 (win32api) being one of many listed there. I’m not sure how they do with keeping up with the latest versions of these modules but it hasn’t let me down yet.

There is a a new option as well: get it via pip! There is a package pypiwin32 with wheels available, so you can just install with: pip install pypiwin32!

Edit: Per comment from @movermeyer, the main project now publishes wheels at pywin32, and so can be installed with pip install pywin32
