The API is split across a number of modules, roughly on
"subject matter" lines.

  >>> import win32gui
  >>> def my_callback(window, extra):
  ...     title = win32gui.GetWindowText(window)
  ...     if title:
  ...         print title
  ...
  >>> win32gui.EnumWindows(my_callback, None)
  (70 lines of junk)
  >>> import win32net
  >>> print win32net.USE_LOTS_OF_FORCE
  2

I found some documentation, but it's quite sparse:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Reference/Products/ActivePython/Pyth
onWin32Extensions/modules.html

A few console-mode functions are in "import msvcrt".

Good luck.
