Summary: install error in pywin32-216.win32.py3.2.exe

Initial Comment:
pywin32-216.win32-py3.2.exe fails to install on my machine [Win7, fresh install of python 3.2 and of pywin32].

At the postinstall phase of running the installer, I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 604, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 332, in install
  File "<string>", line 15, in write
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write'
Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'flush'" in <__main__.Tee object at 0x03093350> ignored

If I try to run the install script by hand:

cd \Python32
python Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 604, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 332, in install

There do indeed seem to be old-style exception statements scattered throughout the pywin32 subdirectories of site-packages, as detailed in the attached file.

Message:
There seem to be 2 problems here:

* pywin32-216.win32-py3.2.exe did indeed have some py2k syntax files -
that file has been removed from the 216 build and replaced with
pywin32-216.1.win32-py3.2.exe - how did you find the old one?

* The AttributeError at install time is a different problem I don't yet
understand, but will probably work around in the next build - see issue
3192904 for more details.

Both those are duplicates of existing bugs (the first fixed, the second
not yet) so closing this issue.
