r/learnpython on Reddit: What do you use Win32com for?
June 4, 2020 -

(I've used python for a couple of years, but am no means an expert.)

I saw the Win32com package in a stackoverflow question, so I started poking around to learn more about it. It looks like you can use it to manipulate Excel and create text-to-speech. But the examples and documentation that I've found are few and far between.

I was curious to know what members of this community use Win32com for.

And are there any good tutorials/YouTube videos on how to use it?

  1. Start a command line with admin rights.

  2. python -m pip install pywin32

  3. C:\Program Files\Stackless36\Scripts>python pywin32_postinstall.py -install The path C:\Program Files\Stackless36\ should be replaced with the path at which your Python version is installed.

  4. Test (admin rights optional) using python -c "import win32com" or python speak.py

    where speak.py consists of this text:

    import win32com.client
    
    speaker = win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice")
    speaker.Speak("It works. Hoorah!")

Check sys.path to make sure the directory where the module is installed is in there, otherwise you have to add it (google PYTHONPATH windows for some help with that.)

Solved: Win32.com client - Esri Community
May 31, 2017 - Can some one be kind engought to guide me though install win32com.client pkg please. Solved! Go to Solution. ... Thanks!... corrected now ... Dan, is there any reason to do this using pip instead of the windows installer at sourceforge, which adds an entry to add remove programs and all that Windows jazz? I've always pointed people to the sourceforge download. ... I clean out stuff manually before and after or through windows doing installs. Also, I still use pythonwin for an IDE on occasions and installing it took care of all the dependencies and cleanup.
