Cannot install pypiwin32 dependency on Linux #109

Open matenestor opened 1 year ago

matenestor commented 1 year ago

I have problems installing the pypiwin32 dependency. Here is an error I got after pip install pypiwin32 commad:

Collecting pypiwin32

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I don't understand why the wheel package version 223 downloads a version 219 of the zip archive. So next I tried specifying a version as it is suggested on Pypi, but also without success.

After pip install pypiwin32==223 commad:

Collecting pypiwin32==223
  Using cached pypiwin32-223-py3-none-any.whl (1.7 kB)
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywin32>=223

Using the --no-cache-dir has no effect. I am developing a small project on Linux, that will be used on Windows. Python packages should not be that critically influenced by an OS platform, when I want to just install them, right?

This is ONLY for windows as suggested in the name you may now close the issue
