How to read windows file properties?

Or better yet Id love to use this one which is supposed to just trigger the Property window that appears when you right click a file and choose properties.

But when i use this code below Sikuli tells me "no module names wintypes"

import time
import ctypes
import ctypes.wintypes

SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS = 0x00000040
SEE_MASK_INVOKEIDLIST = 0x0000000C

class SHELLEXECUTEINFO(ctypes.Structure):
    _fields_ = (
        ("cbSize",ctypes.wintypes.DWORD),
        ("fMask",ctypes.c_ulong),
        ("hwnd",ctypes.wintypes.HANDLE),
        ("lpVerb",ctypes.c_char_p),
        ("lpFile",ctypes.c_char_p),
        ("lpParameters",ctypes.c_char_p),
        ("lpDirectory",ctypes.c_char_p),
        ("nShow",ctypes.c_int),
        ("hInstApp",ctypes.wintypes.HINSTANCE),
        ("lpIDList",ctypes.c_void_p),
        ("lpClass",ctypes.c_char_p),
        ("hKeyClass",ctypes.wintypes.HKEY),
        ("dwHotKey",ctypes.wintypes.DWORD),
        ("hIconOrMonitor",ctypes.wintypes.HANDLE),
        ("hProcess",ctypes.wintypes.HANDLE),
    )

ShellExecuteEx = ctypes.windll.shell32.ShellExecuteEx
ShellExecuteEx.restype = ctypes.wintypes.BOOL

sei = SHELLEXECUTEINFO()
sei.cbSize = ctypes.sizeof(sei)
sei.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS | SEE_MASK_INVOKEIDLIST
sei.lpVerb = "properties"
sei.lpFile = "C:\\Desktop\\test.txt"
sei.nShow = 1
ShellExecuteEx(ctypes.byref(sei))
time.sleep(5)

Actually forget the above comment.

Ideally I need to read/stream in specific elements and assert them.

I need to stream/read File version from the version tab and verify that its proper against supplied variable value.

i did write a quick little:

SCR0 = Screen(0)
SCR1 = Screen(1)

type("timeslip.exe")
wait(3)
keyDown(Key.ALT)
type(Key.ENTER)
keyUp(Key.ALT)
if SCR0.exists("Timeslip-1.png") or SCR1.exists("Timeslip-1.png"):
    wait(1)
type(Key.TAB, KeyModifier.CTRL)
type(Key.TAB, KeyModifier.CTRL)
type(Key.TAB, KeyModifier.CTRL)
type(Key.TAB, KeyModifier.CTRL)
wait(1)
assert exists(version.png)

but this wont work because the version will always change every time i perform an installation and I cant keep changing the png file so it looks like i need to stream in the correct value and compare i believe.

allready had a look at the tons of Python file features to directly access the file system??

Thanks Raiman, on a side note.... how does Sikuli keep up to date with the latest stable builds of Python? right now there is python 3.3 stable but what is Sikuli based on currently? What happens when 3.4 comes out, does Sikuli test with the latest build and release another build as well?

Sikuli utilizes Python language and the interpreter used internally is Jython 2.5.x (latest stable 2.5.3, is in the new version), which means, we are still on language level Python 2.5. Jython is a Java implementation of the Python interpreter and the standard library.

There is a beta Jython 2.7, that will implement the language level 2.7. There are no signs of level 3.x yet.
