pyhandle

PyHANDLE Object

A Python object, representing a win32 HANDLE.

Comments

This object wraps a win32 HANDLE object, automatically closing it when the object is destroyed. To guarantee cleanup, you can call either  PyHANDLE::Close , or  win32api::CloseHandle . 

Most functions which accept a handle object also accept an integer - however, use of the handle object is encouraged.

简言之：python处理win32请求时，需要handle的地方，使用pyhandle处理

注意点：1.也可以用整数形式的handle替代pyhandle

2.使用pyhandle的核心目的是 automatically closing it when the object is destroyed.
