Can't install python module "pywhatkit"

Question

So I was working on a automated whatsapp messenger and I tried to install the module known as "pywhatkit" but I am getting an error everytime. The error trace is the following:

 ERROR: Exception: Traceback (most recent call last):   File
 "c:\users\पज\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\resolvelib\resolvers.py",
 line 171, in _merge_into_criterion
     crit = self.state.criteria[name] KeyError: 'pymsgbox'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Answer 1

pip install pywhatkit If this doesn't work use pip install pipwin And then pipwin install pywhatkit If it is installed and giving error try pip install pywhatkit --upgrade

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I used a lot of tricks but finally got my solution. I didn't add my python scripts directory in the path variable. C:\Users\Computer\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\Scripts. When I added this path to the path variable. Then pywhatkit was running on my machine. Note: I had recently reset my computer and gave it windows 10 pro!
