I'm new to python.
I'm working in windows environment. mostly win7.
My machine is win7 32bit also.
I downloaded the wmi module and used the .exe to install it.
when I try and 'import wmi', i get an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>
import wmi
File "C:\Python33\lib\wmi.py", line 88, in <module>
from win32com.client import GetObject, Dispatch
ImportError: No module named 'win32com'
How can I solve this? Does win7 compliant with this module?
Regards
download WMI-1.4.9.win32.exe from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/ and it will resolve your problem
What worked for me is:
i downloaded the source named: WMI-1.4.9.zip from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/
Extracted all files from that zip file and saved it in a folder named: WMI-1.4.9 and then copied that folder to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages.
After that I navigated to that folder C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\WMI-1.4.9 and did a shift + right click -> Open Command line here and ran: python setup.py install
That's it, after that it worked for me like charm. No issues.
p.s - While installing exe I had some weird Access Denied errors, I tried by running the exe as Administrator even then I could get through it. Hence that didn't at all work for me.
Also I had pywin32 installed from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/ (select the correct file - 'bittedness' and python version wise)
Instead you can also install win32com which would resolve the issue.
To install win32com use:
pip install pypiwin32
