win32com import error python 3.4 [duplicate]

Answer 1

This worked without needing to copy DLLs in python 3.3.

Why do these need to be copied as in 2.6? Surely this should be fixed by now!

After some additional research I found that all you need to do is run the post install script as administrator.

python C:\Python34\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install

It appears that the install script isn't doing this step correctly.

Answer 2

After I copied pywintypes26.dll and pythoncom26.dll to c:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32 I solved the problem!

Answer 3

I'm also running python 3.4 64 bit in Windows 7, and I had the same problem.

I solved it as suggested in this Stack Overflow answer. Basically, I added the path where pywintypes34.dll was located to my system path and it worked.

In my case it was C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32. There has to be 2 DLLs "pythoncom34.dll","pywintypes34.dll" in the path.
