In Mozilla's Release Engineering Windows machines we have pywin32 installed.
This dependency if you're going to run older scripts that are needed for the release process.
Unfortunately, at the moment, we can't get rid of this dependency and need to install it.
If you're not using Mozilla-build, you can easily install it with these steps:

Unfortunately, at the moment, we can't get rid of this dependency and need to install it.
If you're not using Mozilla-build, you can easily install it with these steps:
- Use Python 2.7.9's 32-bit installer
- If you don't already have Python installed for Windows
- Use Pywin32 for Python 2.7 32-bit (Build 219) installer
NOTE:These are 32-bit binary installers. 64-bit binaries are also available.
In Mozilla we use Mozilla-build which brings most of the tools you need to build Firefox.
Python is included on it, however, pywin32 is currently not pat of it (bug to fix this).
Since the process was a bit painful for me, I will take note of it for future reference.
I tried few approaches until I figured out that we need to use easy_install instead of pip and we need to point to an .exe file rather than a normal Python package.

Use easy_install
Here it is:
easy_install http://hivelocity.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pywin32/pywin32/Build%20219/pywin32-219.win32-py2.7.exe
You will know that it worked if you can run this without any errors:
python -c "import win32api"
