没有名为“win32api”的模块 // PY2EXE

Question

I am using Python 3.6.7 in conda 4.5.12 (Win10,64bit) and I want to compile my Python project to an .exe-File using Pyinstaller (3.5 dev). I keep getting the same error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32api'
[65600] Failed to execute script pyi_rth_win32comgenpy

I already reinstalled pywin32 as recommended in 25314463 , the import of win32com works. I also tried:

pip install pypiwin32

as described in 21343774 . The Installation was successful. But I still get the same Error.

pip install pywin32

from 827 does not solve the problem either. Also I tried to import win32api , win32com and pywin32 in my .spec-file with the matching paths, but still no success.

How can this error be fixed?

Answer 1

Sometimes it happened to me on Windows that installed package is not visible. Try first uninstalling it:

pip uninstall pypiwin32

Make sure it has been removed:

pip list

Then install from scratch:

pip install --no-cache pypiwin32

Make sure it is installed:

pip list

You might see pywin32 in the list.

Answer 2

Just pypiwin32 didn't do it for me. It worked only when I uninstalled all libs related to pywin32 and then installed again
