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

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

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 thatcome with pywin32 pre-shipped (eg, anaconda?).

The /reg:32 flag is needed to install a 32bit pywin32 on a 64bit OS, otherwise the 32bit pywin32 installer will not find the registry key and so not know where to install into. That flag would not be necessary on a 32bit Windows 8, nor if you were using a 64bit Python + 64bit pywin32 on a 64bit win8.

I am trying to install pywin32 for Python 2.6.I have python installed but it's not in the regular c: drive but on the d: drive . The pywin32 installer does not find it and I cannot give the custom path to it.

Interestingly enough, with the 3.5-32 key, the 64 bit installer works, but of course you will run into problems because the 64 bit libs installed are not compatible with the 32 bit python. Something is very broken in this installer.

Are you sure you got the right version for your python and your cpu architecture? If you did and that did not work, you might try building from source, I think there might be a command line flag to allow you to specify the python installation location.

Obu's answer above almost worked by replacing 3.5 to 3.6, then pywin32 can detects the registry path but it's still failed with error code can't create pywin32-wininst.log. Try to run as administrator. It just stop installation then exit even though already run it as administrator.

The problem was that pywin32-220.win32-py3.6.exe searches in registry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Python\PythonCore\3.6 whilst python 3.6 setup created HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Python\PythonCore\3.6-32.

I was in a similar situation, trying to install pywin32 but with a Winpython portable install. After quite some googling I've found a link to this huge repository of packages in .whl bins by Christoph Gohlke.

I have both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Python 3.7 installed on my Windows 7 machine. The 64-bit version is installed in C:\Python37 and the 32-bit version is installed in C:\Python37-32. I have the pywin32 package installed in the 64-bit version but not in the 32-bit version. When I start a command window, switch to C:\Python3y-32, and run "pip install pywin32", I am told that it is already installed in C:\Python37. Yes, I know that. I want it installed somewhere else. I tried downloading a wheel file and installing that, with the same result. I tried renaming my C:\Python37 folder to "C:\Python37 64 bits" and renaming C:\Python37-32 to C:\Python37, but the pip gave me a fatal error:

pywin32 build 219 has a problem in that it looks for the python 3.5 32 bit installation location in the wrong registry key. This problem is fixed in later pywin32 builds - 220 and 221 are the ones I tried - and they correctly find the python installation location in registry. You can see the pywin32 ticket here.

I install python for all users on my PC, so the registry entries on my machine are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. If you install python per user, the registry entries will be in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Also, my COM object is 32-bit, so we use the 32-bit python.

I followed the guide ( =kA03q000000wxMvCAI&l=en-US) and the Python import is still not working.

I have a virtual environment of Python 3.6.3 64 bit (somewhere in docu there is mentioned support of python 3.6 and 3.7). I insalled the PYwin32 package into this environment. I added the path to the __venv__ and __venv__\Scripts to the PATH variable. I executed DIADEM as administrator.

For python path in DIAdem I tried:
path to python.exe => Scripts work, but point to the original DIAdem python, without access to my libraries, e.g. numpy.
path to Scripts folder containing python.exe => DIAdem crashes instantly without any error message when running the script.
path to __venv__ folder containing Scripts folder => DIAdem shows an error message, that the python failed to initialise.

My comments:
It would be nice if there was a better explanation of "Add Python installation path to DIAdem settings." in the guide. As mentioned above, I could think up 3 different paths, none of whose worked for me.
It would be good if DIAdem showed some more meaningful message than just "Initializing Python has failed". This one is not very helpful for debugging.

Can you tell me, what should I try next to make python working in DIAdem?

I suppose I do not have to add the sys.path.append() command to the script, when I just want to use the packages from my virtual environment, correct? When a correct environment is executed, all of its packages should be available.

3) Install pywin32 to this python directory. and verity that can issue import pywin32 and this works in ldle. (Sometimes have to install this from installer, and other times a python -m pip install pywin32 will work. I have to watch this sometimes)

It also allows you to have two DIAdem instances running. One in VBS scripting and Second in python scripting. this I find is a productive environment. (I also use Pycharm for heavy python development. VS code is also pretty good)

ps. Note: DIAdem does not require that python instance used be on the path in any sense, it just requires that you give the path to the python.exe file that you want to use. It will reference what packages that python.exe has in its /lib/site-packages directory under the path to python.exe. So I have a c:\python\python36_diadem\ path for just for DIAdem, that way can control the packages somewhat.

Thanks Paul for you excellent answer, as usual. I just want to confirm that DIAdem 2020 does NOT support virtual python environments. I have communicated to DIAdem R&D that this would be a very desirable feature for python-savvy customers to have, but it is not currently implemented. For the time being you'll have to work with python engines, each installed to a dedicated folder that is registered with the OS. The path to that registered folder, with a trailing backslash (DIAdem standard) is what you enter into the DIAdem SCRIPT settings field. For others looking at this, remember to save the *.DDD file after making that change and restarting DIAdem.

It would be nice though if it was at least mentioned in the official documentation that the virtual environments are not supported. Currently it is quite a standard way to work with virtual environments when developing a python application, so there will probably be more users with similar issue.

1- I followed the indications given here : -started-with-python#define-a-procfile
2- I modified a little bit the Pocfile.windows; my Pocfile.windows contains this line:
web: python manage.py && streamlit run slidebar.py
3- in the Streamlt environment created with Anaconda, pip freeze > requirements.txt
4- then, in my repository :

The pywin32 package has been around for a very long time. In fact, the bookthat covers this topic was published in 2000 by Mark Hammond and Andy Robinson.Despite being 18 years old (which make me feel really old :), the underlyingtechnology and concepts still work today. Pywin32 is basically a very thin wrapper ofpython that allows us to interact with COM objects and automate Windows applicationswith python. The power of this approach is that you can pretty much do anythingthat a Microsoft Application can do through python. The downside is that you haveto run this on a Windows system with Microsoft Office installed. Before we gothrough some examples, make sure you have pywin32 installed on your system usingpip or conda

This approach can be a very convenient shortcut when you have a situation where youwant to use python for data manipulation but need a complex Excel output. You maynot have an apparent need for it now but if you ever build up a complex Excel report,this approach is much simpler than trying to code the spreadsheet by hand with python.

Maybe the python win32com works, but I have not yet figured out, what the trick is.
Up to now I have only worked with PyCall.jl I will have a look on PythonCall.jl, maybe this better suited to achieve my purpose.
The objective is to transfer a proprietary binary file format into a mat-file.
Unfortunately, my C-Coding skills are quite limited.
Meanwhile, I received an interesting link that deals with my topic:
Accessing COM from Julia
If someone is interested to receive the wrapper created by means of the python script makepy.py by mhammond please send my a note.

i have been using the pywin32 api in my flask application, i am trying to deploy on the pythonanywhere , but i could not because i am not able to install pywin32, why we can not pip install pywin32 , is there any reason ?? how to install it unless which i can not deploy my appliction

I got our reports to autoprint by installing pywin32 which is the python package needed to communicate with windows API. It is known as win32api, but for some crazy reason you must install pywin32 instead. I installed this thru the command prompt as well as using GOM's script which is pre-installed in the 'tools' section of the scripts.

Then I installed pywin32 using the script inside GOM under the tools section that allows you to install python packages to what I think it the GOM package installation directory. So you bring this scripts up in the right pane and right click > run, then enter 'pywin32' into the box. That should install it into the GOM directory, 'I think'
