That said, I need to be able to use the win32com module and I am encountering issues installing it and using it. I have installed the 32-bit version of Python 3.6, which I verified at the Python cli. When I try to install the 32-bit version of pywin (build 220, pywin32-220.win32-py3.6.exe) the installer yells at me saying it can’t find a compatible version of Python.
