pythonpywinauto

No module names win32api when running "from pywinauto import application"

any help is appreciated,

I have python 3.7.2 installed. using PyCharm editor I run the following code: 

from pywinauto import application

running that code produces the following error: 

File "C:/Users/<user>/PycharmProjects/WebAuto/testPyWinAuto.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pywinauto import application
File "C:\Users\<user>\PycharmProjects\WebAuto\venv\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\__init__.py", line 59, in <module>
    import win32api  # noqa: E402
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32api'

Process finished with exit code 1

what is going on? what to do??

Thank you for any help in advance.

  • You need to install PyWin32 (which is one of PyWinAuto dependencies):

    pip install pywin32
