Python new winrt import & install error

predict-woo opened this issue · 1 comments

First, when I do

pip install winrt

When I import winrt, I get a ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _winrt error
However, I found this issue already marked by Creepercdn, so I followed the solution and tried to install an older version; v1.0.20239.1

And for some reason,

C:\Users\andyy>pip install winrt==1.0.20239.1
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement winrt==1.0.20239.1
ERROR: No matching distribution found for winrt==1.0.20239.1

pypi doen't seem to have v1.0.20239.1 available.
Why? What am I supposed to do?

PyWinrt is re-compiled for each supported version of python (it requires 3.7 or newer). The import error is likely the same issue as #717, which I resolved in the latest update. Let me know if you're continuing to see load issues on Python 3.7, 3.8, or 3.9 with the latest WinRT package.
