win32com.client broken in portablepython1.1-2.5.4

[lilleyt]

The command:

import win32com.client

fails with a bad entry point into a dll.

The error message is "The prodecure entry point ?PyWinObject?<insert stuff here> could not be located in the dynamic link library pywintypes25.dll." This pops in a dialog.

In the interpreter, the error message is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "D:\temp\PortablePython_1.1_py2.5.4\App\lib\site-packages\win32com\__init
__.py", line 6, in <module>
    import pythoncom
  File "D:\temp\PortablePython_1.1_py2.5.4\App\lib\site-packages\pythoncom.py",

    pywintypes.__import_pywin32_system_module__("pythoncom", globals())

    "No system module '%s' (%s)" % (modname, filename)
ImportError: No system module 'pythoncom' (pythoncom25.dll)

This module is one of the important reasons I rely on Portable Python. In former editions, this functionality worked.

I've attempted to easy_install pywin32 but can't find an egg. An upgrade to the latest version may be all that is required.
