'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32gui

sorry for potentially asking stupid questions but I am newbie, learning Python from YT videos.

I need to use Ptwin32 extension, and use the libraries there.

  • EDIT: using Windows 10

  • Dowloaded "pywin32-300.win-amd64-py3.9" from here "https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/releases"

  • Using python 3.9.1 and PyCharm 2020.3.1.

  • On the beginning of my program I write:

    import win32gui
    import win32con

and then I get the message "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32gui'"

Tried to search for solutions but nothing worked so far.

Thx in advance for help. Loonak



Solution 1:[1]

Go to your terminal and say either pip install win32gui or pip3 install win32gui(Try the other one if one of these 2 don't work)

Happy Coding!

Solution 2:[2]

I had the same problem & py -m pip install win32gui didn't solve it, finally it was fixed using py -m pip install pywin32 as @Kenny Ostrom advised
