  • SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. is the issue. This means that this package is for python 2 and doesn't have a python 3 version. PyPI info page doesn't have any info at all on this package. Commented Mar 13, 2022 at 10:04
  • @Edoakse do you know how i solve it.as a beginer of this industry i dont know how to solve. it can you help me?. Commented Mar 17, 2022 at 12:11
  • First off, you should not start new projects in Python 2. It's deprecated for more than 2 years now. Unless you have an unavoidable need to use this particular module, don't use it. If you absolutely have to use this module, you should install python 2, and create a virtualenv (and actiavte it) and use that for your development. Google is your friend for this. Look up the following: install python 2 in MY_OPERATING_SYSTEM, create virtualenv for python 2 in MY_OPERATING_SYSTEM, using virtualenv. That should be enough to get you started...

  • @EdoAkse Faced same problem while installing below "sudo pip install pypiwin32" I have python 3.10.4 ver (no other python vers installed). Error is related to setip.py file. Part of error: "python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully. Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 2, in <module> File "<pip-setuptools-caller>", line 34, in <module> File "/tmp/pip-install-0qiyf_4f/pypiwin32_799cd82de851463d8ed0c834d6d0c0e1/setup.py", line 121 print "Building pywin32", pywin32_version SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)? " Commented Aug 10, 2022 at 17:56
