python pip error "could not find a version..."

[Reppiy]

Python:

When trying to install winsound through pip (using "pip install winsound"), I get this error:

Collecting winsound
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement winsound (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for winsound

This happens when trying to install any other packages as well (eg. I was trying to install win32api).

I have the latest pip version (10.0.1) and Python 3.6.4

Thanks for any help.

Python 3.x uses pip3, try with that instead of pip? Pip is for Python 2.x - series.

I tried pip3 install winsound, but that came up with the same error

I just checked, winsound is already included with the Windows-version of Python. You don't need to install it with pip3.

Oh thanks... I didn't realise that. I still can't install win32api though.

Because it's not available in pypi-repositories. Install it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build 220/
