Importerror: No System Module 'pywintypes' (pywintypes39.dll)
Solution 1:
On Command prompt type python -m site to get the site-package.
Now navigate to the site-package folder and go to pywin32_system32 to copy pythoncom39.dll and pywintypes39.dll
Navigate one step back to site-package folder and got win32 and paste the file.
Solution 2:
You've commented that you dumped the project you were working on. But I thought I answer anyway for those who still get this error or are going to.
I had the same issue but there was no solution to the problem that I could find online. So I decided to read the error message and to understand what it says
Notice that File <path> the errors are referring to.
The <path> is C:\Users\visha\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\....
In this folder, there is a directory called pywin32_system32.
That's the directory you're looking for. The problem was that pypiwin32 was installed but not in the Python PATH that it should have!
For example:
My Python location is C:\Program Files\Python39
My Python path in System Environment Variables is set to C:\Program Files\Python39
When I ran the command pip install pypiwin32, it was installed on C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages which is not the right directory.
Inside the directory, pywin32_system32, is the file you are looking for (pywintypes39.dll).
**All you have to do is to copy the pywin32_system32 folder from
C:\Users\visha\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\
to
<Python_PATH>\site-packages\**
(C:\Program Files\Python39\sitepackages\ for example.)
Sorry if the answer came a little too late! I hope what I wrote is not confusing because I tried my best to explain it in simple words.
Solution 3:
try uninstall pywin32 and install it again, works for me
Solution 4:
pywintypes is a part of Python for Windows extensions, or its know as pywin32 you will need to install it. and i am not sure it will work but you can try this pip install pypiwin32.
Solution 5:
Even thou the question is already answered, I had that issue now and used the answer from DecodedIntel, but even thou it works, you can see another issue in the future after using pip install NewModule and there's a way to fix it once and for all.
My Python location is C:\Program Files\Python39
My PIP Modules location is C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages
To fix it you can use Windows HARD LINK Directory JUNCTION
Use /J to create a hard link pointing to a directory, also known as a directory junction:
mklink /J Link Target
MSDOS MKLINK Cmd help description
So, for example, if you wanted to create a directory junction (a hard link to a folder) at C:\LinkToFolder that pointed to C:\Users\Name\OriginalFolder, you’d run the following command:
mklink /J C:\LinkToFolder C:\Users\Name\OriginalFolder
You’ll need to put quotation marks around paths with spaces. For example, if the folders are instead named C:\Link To Folder and C:\Users\Name\Original Folder, you’d use the following command instead:
mklink /J "C:\Link To Folder" "C:\Users\Name\Original Folder"
If you see the message “You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this operation.”, you need to launch the Command Prompt as Administrator before running the command.
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Python>mklink /j Python39 "C:\Program Files\Python39" Junction created for Python39 <<===>> C:\Program Files\Python39
