I noticed that there are comments regarding Win32lib and EUwinGUI. Why =
are there two and is one or the other better?

Neither is better or worse. They are just different approaches.
There are two (and there could be many more) because the libraries' purpose
and philosophy behind the approaches are different.
I can only really speak for win32lib. Its aim is to make windows coding
simpler than just using the MS supplied API. It tries to achieve this by
handling a lot of the housekeeping chores a programmer would otherwise have
to deal with. It tries for speed of development rather than speed of
execution. As such, it makes some compromises to help the coder do their
job faster.
Underneath the library, it is just a fancy interface to the Windows API.
You are quite free to mix API coding with win32lib coding. I've tried to
expose as much as possible to the application coder without compromising
its internal integrity.
Its not complete yet.
