No matching distribution found for pywin32>=302

I am trying to install this on Windows 10 64 bit system. I currently have Python 3.10.9 installed. Seems it's complaining about pywin32 or something. So I tried to install that based on the repo instructions. But no luck either. Perhaps someone over here knows what I can do to resolve this issue.

I believe I resolved it. I cleaned up everything in regards to Python, and noticed that even after deleting everything python --version still returned a version 3.8.2. I also made sure there was nothing left in the env variable PATH.

After doing a where python I was able to find it's location. In my case it was located here: c:\msys64\mingw64\bin\python.exe after removing that and reinstalling 3.10.9 I was able to get it installed without problems with below commands:

C:\Users\User>python -m pip install --upgrade pip

  DEPRECATION: PyRect is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

Just one comment: why are you using pywinctl v0.0.38? I strongly recommed you use last version v0.0.43 (it's available in PyPi). Just remove the "==0.0.38" in your pip command if you want to install this last version.

Thank you for your interest and feedback!

Hi Kalmat,

I required pywinctl just for this tool (https://github.com/tryptech/obs-zoom-and-follow). This script would then be inserted into OBS so you can zoom and follow the mouse movement while screen recording.

After running into issues, I found a YT video which I followed. That video said it was best to use v0.0.38 to make it work. It probably also will work with a later version. I bet. But I think I will leave it as it is for now since it works :)

Thanks for your time and effort!
