ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32api'

[EnzoDeg40]

Describe the bug I installed python without additional libraries. When he suggested that I install the libraries before running the python file, he forgot to install pywin32. To solve this, a simple pip install pypiwin32 works (not identical to pywin32). (https://stackoverflow.com/a/35948588/13845688)

To Reproduce Command:

python .\ovl_tool_gui.py

Output :

DEBUG:root:Checking for automatic module updates
ERROR:root:imageio not found.
ERROR:root:numpy not found.
ERROR:root:PyQt5 not found.
ERROR:root:PyQt5-Frameless-Window not found.

Why don't you just re-install python with libraries? Haven't seen this one before...

Why don't you just re-install python with libraries?

Well, if your project needs pypiwin32 then you must indicate it in the project. Yes my python environment is empty, I don't want to install basic libraries which are of no use to me. It's a bit stupid to reinstall python just to have the right library that this project requires.

Good point - however: the requirement for win32api comes from a third-party library (qframelesswindow). They do have it in their requirements.txt file, so something must have gone wrong on your end during installation. https://github.com/zhiyiYo/PyQt-Frameless-Window
