According to here, to install pywin32 system files, run python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install from an elevated command prompt.

For example, this works for me: "C:\Programs\Python\Python3\CPython\x64\Python35\python.exe" "C:\Programs\Python\Python3\CPython\x64\Python35\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py" -install.

It looks like Python can’t properly locate the libraries you’re trying to import. Doing a clean python install may solve the issue. However, instead of doing that, you could try the following:

I’ve seen this problem happen before when a python installation failed to copy pywintypes27.dll and pythoncom27.dll to the win32 folder, please try doing this:

  • Go to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32
  • Copy pywintypes27.dll and pythoncom27.dll
  • Paste them in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\win32

For future reference, if this works, how did you install Python?
