As far as I remember my thoughts about pywin32 on msys after reading https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/751 shows that "it is not ready for msys".
Root of a problem is in a fact that pywin32 source code contains some visual-studio-specific parts and can't be compiled with mingw. And visual studio build uses malloc/free from library that is used by visual studio (ucrtbase.dll i think). The version stored in pip repo is or official python for windows binary (which is compiled by VS2015). But mingws' python is compiled with mingw and uses malloc/free from corresponding library (msvcrt.dll i think). So I'm not sure there is simple way to use pywin32 with mingw64's python without changing pywin32 source code. -- Vasily > Thanks Vasily. > > I did have one more thing I tried > $ wget --no-verbose > https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/d0/f7/56e35902d32299020cf9136264ca102ff0b03c0555621b469c825bc10d08/pypiwin32-220-cp36-none-win_amd64.whl > && python3 -m pip install pypiwin32-220-cp36-none-win_amd64.whl > pypiwin32-220-cp36-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this > platform. > > I tried the 32 bit version too.
