I cannot find pywin32 documentation or even a little synopsis of what the module is (I am aware its for win32 API stuff).

Is there any pywin32 documentation or resources? Maybe some examples?

    It's probably best to remove the 'why' from this question. "Why' is not what you wanted answered; 'Where can I find' is ;-) – florisla Jan 04 '17 at 12:46
  • Additional info: If you want to manipulate Office applications with pywin32, be sure to check out the Object Browsers in different Office applications, so that you know the properties and methods of each object. – Nicholas Humphrey Apr 25 '19 at 22:45

The PyWin32 installation includes a .chm help file at [Pythonpath]\Lib\site-packages\PyWin32.chm.

The same info is online at http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/index.html

ActiveState used to keep this documentation online as well, including listings of modules and objects, but that seems to be taken offline.

Sadly, DDE is not actually documented, anywhere http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.6/pywin32/dde.html

The doc strings are all empty:

    >>> dde.CreateServer.__doc__
    >>>
