ImportError: no module named win32api

Question

I am using Python 2.7 and I want to use pywin32-214 on Windows 7. I installed pywin32-214 using the MSI installer. But when I import win32api into my Python script, it throws an error:

no module named win32api. 

What should I do? Can i use pywin32 api for windows 7?

Answer 1

This is the solution to my case found on Where can I find the win32api module for Python?

 pip install pypiwin32 

Answer 2

I had an identical problem that I solved by restarting my Python editor and shell. I installed PyWin32, but the new modules were not raised until the restarts.

If you have already done this, search your Python installation for "win32api" and you should find win32api.pyd under $ {PYTHON_HOME} \ Lib \ site-packages \ win32.

pip install pypiwin32

Answer 6

I did not find the package of the most voted answer in my Python 3 dist.

I had the same problem and decided to install the pywin32 module:

In regular python:

 pip install pywin32 

In the anaconda:

 conda install pywin32 

My python installation (Intel® Distribution for Python) had some kind of dependency problem and gave this error. After installing this module, it stops appearing.
