So,I’m using Python 3.8,and whenever I try to use the “pip install pywin32” command,I get a syntax error. I know that you’re supposed to use Command Prompt or PowerShell,and have already tried these things:
-Uninstalling and reinstalling the pip feature
-Using the “Repair” button in the installer
-Using the “python -m pip install pywin32” command
-Installing the .whl file for pywin32
-And even adding “``` console” to both commands.
Thank you in advance to anyone who has a solution.
I’m puzzled about the syntax error.
The Windows Command Prompt might complain that it can’t find “pip” or “python” (the solution in that case is to use “py” instead of “python”), but syntax error sounds more like it’s being entered from the Python prompt.
Could you copy and paste here what you entered, including the prompt, and the output?
So, it’s not a syntax error, it just can’t find “pip” or “python”.
Use “py” instead of “python”, as I suggested in my previous answer:
py -m pip install pywin32
It worked! Thank you very much.
