Unable to run PythonWin For Python 3.9 64bit

213 views Asked by At

I was trying to create Python executables on Windows 10 Pro (latest) so was upgrading to the latest packages but it's changed.

I've just gotten rid of Python 3.6 and reinstalled Python 3.9. I then went and installed PythonWin for it using the following (there no longer seems to be what was a standard install package):

**pip install pywin32**

Python is on the start menu but, unlike earlier installs, the new way of installing PythonWin this doesn't seem to give me any kind of way to run the program. Surely it should create some kind of shortcut on the start menu?

Any advice on this would be most helpful.

SOLVED!

While I still have no idea why a Start Menu shortcut wasn't installed, I have found the executable that runs PythonWin.

It was located in the following folder:

"C:\Users<MyUserID>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin"

Thanks :)
