import pythoncom

How does Python (version 23 on Windows) know what to import? I could
not find a file or directory named "pythoncom" .

import pythoncom
help(pythoncom)
FILE
c:\windows\syst em32\pythoncom2 3.dll

Obviously Python knows to which DLL to load, but the DLL has a
different name (pythoncom versus pythoncom32.dll ). So how does this
work?

Thanks for you help.
