All these errors are correct. The current (and final) interface uses
the Events property as a virtual array indexed by the constants in
the Watch class. "hWatch.Events.Create = True" is written now

  hWatch.Events[Watch.Create] = True

I'm basically repeating what T Lee said because it wasn't clear to me
if his mail solved your problem completely or not.
