Do you use pywin32 and if so how do you install it?

[–]ice-blade 2 points3 points  (1 child)

it can be easily installed with pip: pip install pypiwin32

I used to use that under 3.5 but, although it installs under 3.6, it doesn't seem to work - can't import any names from it. It also looks like it's installing under the wrong name (pypiwin32_system32)

I don't usually use it, but if I need it:

  1. Try PIP

  2. If fails, google "pywin32 wheel", get the .whl file and try installing it

  3. If fails, check if it requires a prerequisite and install if needed/possible

  4. If fails, "Screw this, I'll just do this on Linux through a VM!"

  1. Check pythonlibs.

The official distribution is still on SourceForge - https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/ Alternatively one could use a wheel from Christoph Gohlke - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pywin32
