| - **Install Python for Windows extensions**. To be able to use Python for application scripting (with Active Scripting technology), you need to install //Python for Windows extensions// from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/|Source Forge project page]]. Select the latest build and download extension version corresponding to the version of Python you have installed (for example //pywin32-218.win-amd64-py2.7.exe//).
