Can't import win32com

#1

I created a plugin a long time ago for ST3 that imported win32com.

Now when I have updated to Build 4107 it no longer workes

Now when I do:
import win32com.client

I get the following error:
>>> import win32com.client
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “main”, line 1, in
File “C:\Users\palli\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text
3\Packages\Pywin32\lib\x64\win32com_init_.py”, line 5, in
import win32api, sys, os
ImportError: Module use of python33.dll conflicts with this version of Python.

Anyone know what is going on or how to fix this?
Also, is there something else I can use instead of win32com?

ST4’s console is py38 by default. If you want to do quick test in old py33,

Interesting, looks like it workes on Py33. Now can I have my plugin use py33?

Ok, so when I import in the py3.3 console it workes fine.
But when I try to import in my plugin I get the following:

Ok, I think I figured it out:
My plugin depends on Pywin32.
It includes some library that I guess needs to be recompiled for the new python version, 3.8 I guess.

Python files in the User directory run in py38, but any other folder in the Packages dir runs in py33. So, you can make a random folder name in the Packages/ directory and move your plugin over there.
