Can someone help me please?

Answer 1

PyScreeze maintainer here. This is caused by a packaging error, which has been fixed in 0.1.18. It should work now if you install pyautogui, though you may have to delete the pip cache on your machine first.

Answer 2

The new release (v0.1.17) of pyscreeze fails to install as a dependency of pyautogui.

As a workaround try to install first the last working version of pyscreeze and after this pyautogui:

pip install pyscreeze<=0.1.14
pip install PyAutoGUI

I already created a new ticket for this issue https://github.com/asweigart/pyscreeze/issues/37
