Python is available from http://www.python.org/ or download ActivePython from ActiveState . As said before: Python needs to be included in the path after installation. Both distributions usually do this automatically. Test directly in the prompt:

[C:\ ]$ python
 ActivePython 2.2.1 Build 222 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr 15 2002, 09:51:39) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

To close the interactive mode, press CTRL-Z

Important: To generate the "real" Word document, the win32com extension needs to be installed- Test in the prompt with:

>>> import win32com
>>> print win32com
 <module 'win32com' from 'C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\win32com\__init__.pyc'>
