When trying to install pywin32 on Python 3.12 or 3.13, you may see this error:

ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywin32

This happens because pywin32 hasn’t been updated to support these newer Python versions yet.

Solution: Use Python 3.11

To fix the issue, downgrade to Python 3.11, which is fully supported:

1. Uninstall Python 3.12 or 3.13 from your computer.
2. Download and install Python 3.11 from the Python website. Make sure to check "Add Python to PATH" during installation.
3. Reinstall your packages by running:

   pip install pywin32
   pip install xlwings
   

This will let you install pywin32 without any issues.

Why Downgrade?

New Python versions often need time for libraries to catch up. By using Python 3.11, you can avoid compatibility issues until pywin32 supports newer versions.
