Ya tengo instalado Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. Descargué el archivo zipPython para extensiones de Windows y extraje el contenido en mi carpeta Python27. Ahora hay una subcarpeta llamada pywin32-214. (¿La parte 32 es un problema? Estoy en un sistema de 64 bits). Aquí hay una transcripción de la línea de comando:

C:\Python27\pywin32-214>setup.py -q install
Building pywin32 2.7.214.0
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: [u'path']

No sé qué hacer con esto. ¿Ayuda?
