无法将 win32gui 和 win32ui 模块导入我在 Phyton 3.8 32 位上的项目

Question

I am trying to get screenshot in Phyton 3.8. When I search in google for the fastest way I found this link. Fastest way to take a screenshot with python on windows

There is some module needed to install in this code. I tired to install them with command below.

pip install pywin32

After that command I could import win23con to my project. But when I try to import win32gui and win32ui gave error in import lines. I shared error titles in below.

import win32con
import win32gui #No module named 'win32gui'
import win32ui #No module named 'win32ui'

Screenshot for error from PyCharm

After some research on google. I fount this answer in stackoverflow. https://stackoverflow.com/a/44065593/17257421

If I understand corretly, I have to use Phyton-32bit version to use pywin32 module. I swith my project to Phyton 3.8 32-bit. But still I get same error.

Where I try select Phyton Version for my Project

pywin32 works just fine under 64-bit Python, so no, you do not need to use a 32-bit one -- switch to 64-bit Python on a 64-bit system, unless you specifically need 32-bit one for some specific reason. That does not seem to be the case here, though.

Also, if you have import-errors, it may be because your library is incomplete or old:

• check what version you have installed at the moment with pip list -- the currently latest version as of writing this is 302.
• run "pip uninstall pywin32" to remove whatever you have installed
• check that it didn't leave any leftover pywin32-related files under your Python libraries (use the snippet below to check the path, if you don't know where to look)
• after clearing out any leftovers, try installing pywin32 again and see if it works correctly now

How to get the path to Python's libraries:

import win32con, os
print(os.path.dirname(win32con.__file__).rsplit("\\", 2)[0])

It'll spit out something akin to eg: 'C:\\Users\\werecatf\\pywin.venv\\lib\\site-packages'

The actual path will be different for you, but look there for anything related to "win32" and move those out somewhere else or delete them.
