Cygwin Python

[ghost]

I am getting this result with Cygwin:

$ pip install pywin32
Collecting pywin32
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32 (from
versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywin32

Another issue said

just use the windows version of python

However I do not wish to do that. Can Cygwin Python work with PyWin32 somehow?

As a workaround, looks like you can get the file from here:

https://pypi.org/simple/pywin32

then rename similar to this:

pywin32-224-cp36-none-any.whl

then install:

pip install pywin32-224-cp36-none-any.whl

looks like you need to do this too:

python3 /bin/pywin32_postinstall.py

I am working on porting pywin32 to MinGW (inside MSYS2). The changes should improve compatibility with Cygwin too. But it's still going to need some additional work.

Some of the progress can be seen in https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/5615. I'm trying to get as much as possible merged back into pywin32.

@ghost interesting workaround, but i can't get it to work,
