Quoting the README at https   github com mhammond pywin32      By far the easiest way to use pywin32 is to grab binaries from the most recent release   Just download the installer for your version of Python from https   github com mhammond pywin32 releases and run it  and you re done

I disagree with the accepted answer being  the easiest   particularly if you want to use virtualenv   You can use the Unofficial Windows Binaries instead  Download the appropriate wheel from there  and install it with pip   pip install pywin32-219-cp27-none-win32 whl    Make sure you pick the one for the right version and bitness of Python    You might be able to get the URL and install it via pip without downloading it first  but they re made it a bit harder to just grab the URL  Probably better to download it and host it somewhere yourself

You can install pywin32 wheel packages from PYPI with PIP by pointing to this package  https   pypi python org pypi pypiwin32 No need to worry about first downloading the package  just use pip   pip install pypiwin32   Currently I think this is  the easiest  way to get in working    Hope this helps

are you just trying to install it  or are you looking to build from source   If you just need to install  the easiest way is to use the MSI installers provided here   http   sourceforge net projects pywin32 files pywin32   for updated versions   make sure you get the correct version  matches Python version  32bit 64bit  etc
