New description:

 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32

 This is a fork (actually a very small fork, a.k.a. a toothpick) of
 pywin32, produced by Glyph in order to fix the problem of pywin32 not
 being pip-installable:

 http://sourceforge.net/p/pywin32/bugs/669/

 Depending on this would allow us to use newer versions of Twisted, which
 would remove the problem with comment:8:ticket:2066. I think this would
 allow us to close #2066.

 (note: as of March-2016, we *do* have a platform-conditional
 `install_requires=` dependency on `pypiwin32`, and this ticket is about
 finding a better way to express that dependency)

Comment (by warner):

 Changing the title of this ticket, since we actually added the dependency
 on `pypiwin32` a few weeks ago (as part of switching to pip, in #1582).
