Win32 api python install

Win32 api python install

The answer may seem straightforward, but I’ve been banging my head against a wall for hours at this point.

What I’ve tried so far pip install pypiwin32:

(venv) C:\Users\Beheerder\PycharmProjects\Personal-Automation-Programs>pip install pypiwin32 Collecting pypiwin32 Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/d0/1b/2f292bbd742e369a100c91faa0483172cd91a1a422a6692055ac920946c5/pypiwin32-223-py3- none-any.whl Collecting pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32) Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32) (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32)

(venv) C:\Users\Beheerder\PycharmProjects\Personal-Automation-Programs>pip install pywin32 Collecting pywin32 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32 (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pywin32

Several specific versions like pip install pywin32==226:

(venv) C:\Users\Beheerder\PycharmProjects\Personal-Automation-Programs>pip install pywin32==226 Collecting pywin32==226 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32==226 (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pywin32==226

and pip install pypiwin32==220:

(venv) C:\Users\Beheerder\PycharmProjects\Personal-Automation-Programs>pip install pypiwin32==220 Collecting pypiwin32==220 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pypiwin32==220 (from versions: 219, 223) No matching distribution found for pypiwin32==220

Even some shot-in-the-dark kind of attempts like pip install win32api:

(venv) C:\Users\Beheerder\PycharmProjects\Personal-Automation-Programs>pip install win32api Collecting win32api Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement win32api (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for win32api

and python -m pip install pypiwin32:

(venv) C:\Users\Beheerder\PycharmProjects\Personal-Automation-Programs>python -m pip install pypiwin32 Collecting pypiwin32 Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/d0/1b/2f292bbd742e369a100c91faa0483172cd91a1a422a6692055ac920946c5/pypiwin32-223-py3- none-any.whl Collecting pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32) Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32) (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32)

I even tried many combinations of these previous commands using previous versions of pip and python to no avail. Do any of you know a possible solution?

‘Python 3.6 install win32api?

Is there a way to install the win32api module for python 3.6 or do I have to change my version of python? Everytime I try to install it using pip I get the following error:

 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement win32api (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for win32api 

Solution 1: [1]

Information provided by @Gord

Since September 2019 pywin32 should be installed via PyPI which ensures that the latest version (currently version 304) is installed. This is done via the pip command

If you wish to get an older version the sourceforge link below would probably have the desired version, if not you can use the command, where xxx is the version you require, e.g. 300

This differs to the pip command in another comment and in an old edit of this answer in that pypiwin32 installs an outdated version (namely 223)

Browsing the docs I see no reason for these commands to not work for all python3.x versions, I am unsure on python2.7 and below so you would have to try them and if they do not work then the solutions below will work.

Probably now undesirable solutions but certainly still valid as of September 2019

There is no version of specific version of win32api . You have to get the pywin32 module which currently cannot be installed via pip . It is only available from this link at the moment.

The install does not take long and it pretty much all done for you. Just make sure to get the right version of it depending on your python version 🙂

Also it can be installed from this GitHub repository as provided in comments by @Heath

pywin32

This is the readme for the Python for Win32 (pywin32) extensions, which provides access to many of the Windows APIs from Python.

See CHANGES.txt for recent notable changes.

Only Python 3 is supported. If you want Python 2 support, you want build 228 .

Docs

The docs are a long and sad story, but there’s now an online version of the helpfile that ships with the installers (thanks @ofek!). Lots of that is very old, but some is auto-generated and current. Would love help untangling the docs!

Support

Feel free to open issues for all bugs (or suspected bugs) in pywin32. pull-requests for all bugs or features are also welcome.

However, please do not open github issues for general support requests, or for problems or questions using the modules in this package — they will be closed. For such issues, please email the python-win32 mailing list — note that you must be subscribed to the list before posting.

Binaries

Installing via PIP

You should install pywin32 via pip — eg,

python -m pip install —upgrade pywin32

If you encounter any problems when upgrading (eg, «module not found» errors or similar), you should execute:

python Scripts/pywin32_postinstall.py -install

This will make some small attempts to cleanup older conflicting installs.

Note that if you want to use pywin32 for «system wide» features, such as registering COM objects or implementing Windows Services, then you must run that command from an elevated (ie, «Run as Administrator) command prompt.

For unreleased changes, you can download builds made by github actions — choose any «workflow» from the main branch and download its «artifacts»)

The specified procedure could not be found / Entry-point not found Errors?

A very common report is that people install pywin32, but many imports fail with errors similar to the above.

In almost all cases, this tends to mean there are other pywin32 DLLs installed in your system, but in a different location than the new ones. This sometimes happens in environments that come with pywin32 pre-shipped (eg, anaconda?).

The possible solutions are:

• Run the «post_install» script documented above.
• Otherwise, find and remove all other copies of pywintypesXX.dll and pythoncomXX.dll (where XX is the Python version — eg, «39»)

Running as a Windows Service

Modern Python installers do not, by default, install Python in a way that is suitable for running as a service, particularly for other users.

• Ensure Python is installed in a location where the user running the service has access to the installation and is able to load pywintypesXX.dll and pythonXX.dll .
• Manually copy pythonservice.exe from the site-packages/win32 directory to the same place as these DLLs.

Building from source

Install Visual Studio 2019 (later probably works, but options might be different), select «Desktop Development with C++», then the following options:

• Windows 10 SDK (latest offered I guess? At time of writing, 10.0.18362)
• «C++ for MFC for . «
• ARM build tools if necessary.

(the free compilers probably work too, but haven’t been tested — let me know your experiences!)

setup.py is a standard distutils build script, so you probably want:

Some modules need obscure SDKs to build — setup.py should succeed, gracefully telling you why it failed to build them — if the build actually fails with your configuration, please open an issue.

Release process

The following steps are performed when making a new release — this is mainly to form a checklist so mhammond doesn’t forget what to do 🙂

• Ensure CHANGES.txt has everything worth noting, commit it.
• Update setup.py with the new build number.
• Execute build.bat, wait forever, test the artifacts.
• Upload .whl artifacts to pypi — we do this before pushing the tag because they might be rejected for an invalid README.md . Done via py -3.? -m twine upload dist/*XXX*.whl .
• Commit setup.py (so the new build number is in the repo), create a new git tag
• Upload the .exe installers to github.
• Update setup.py with the new build number + «.1» (eg, 123.1), to ensure future test builds aren’t mistaken for the real release.
• Make sure everything is pushed to github, including the tag (ie, git push —tags )
• Send mail to python-win32

This tutorial will see how to install win32com.client in Python. Using this you can access the windows 32 APIs from Python.

From python version 3.9 onwards this library is preinstalled with the python package. And for other versions, it is not. So before installing check the python version using this command.

Note: Also try to import the library in some Python code to see if it’s giving any ImportError. If it’s not it means it’s already installed in your Python version.

Install pywin32 using pip

Now open the command prompt on your machine and type the following command to install pywin32 using pip.

It will download and install the package on your machine.

After successful installation, try to use the library in Python code to ensure that the package is working appropriately.
Example:

After execution, it returned 1 which means the code has been executed successfully without any errors.
