Answer 1

From their documentation:

from pywinauto.application import Application

Source: https://github.com/pywinauto/pywinauto

Answer 2

你不应该用 python 包的名称命名你的脚本。这将使你的 python 脚本在相同的位置尝试从这些文件而不是原始包中导入模块。在这里你不应该将脚本命名为“pywinauto.py”。重命名并尝试。此外，在同一位置不应有任何名为“pywinauto.py”的脚本。

Answer 3

The real problem is in the script name. It shouldn't be called pywinauto.py because Python will try to import it instead of real pywinauto package. Please rename your script.
