Summary: pywin32-217.win-amd64-py3.3.exe installer fails

Initial Comment:
I'm using Windows 7, Python 3.3rc2-amd64.  Near the end of the installation:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 612, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 322, in install
  File "<string>", line 160, in LoadSystemModule
  File "D:\dev\python33\lib\imp.py", line 158, in load_module
    raise ValueError(msg)
ValueError: file object required for import (type code 3)

This may actually be a Python bug.  the import system has had issues with Python 3.3 specifically with "type code 3".  See http://bugs.python.org/issue15828 which was recently fixed.

Message:
Apparently pywin32 tip has a fix for this. So presumably, the next release
will be fine.

Message:
The problem is that (according to the patch for the quoted issue)
load_module does not allow None for the file object - presumably this is a
regression in Python.

I've added a comment to the referenced issue, noting the regression.
