I am new to the list, and relatively new to Python development in general.  That said, I need to be able to use the win32com module and I am encountering issues installing it and using it.  I have installed the 32-bit version of Python 3.6, which I verified at the Python cli.  When I try to install the 32-bit version of pywin (build 220, pywin32-220.win32-py3.6.exe) the installer yells at me saying it can’t find a compatible version of Python.  If, however, I try to install the 64-bit version of build 220 (pywin32-220.win-amd64-py3.6.exe) the install succeeds fine.

That suggests rather strongly that you did NOT install the 32-bit version of Python.  Can you cut-and-paste the header lines when you start the command line?
