So I'm installing and getting this error:

Its windows 10. Win 64. Is there anything else I should install?

Looks like WinRT is not yet supported on 3.10. You'll have to use 3.9: https://pypi.org/project/winrt/#files

Hopefully that's it. Not sure why the log mentions earlier versions of my package ...

There's also https://github.com/pywinrt/python-winsdk/ which aims to replace it. Sadly I couldn't make it work tho. Might still be interesting since it seems like winrt isn't maintained anymore.

[wolfmanstout]

Unfortunately winsdk isn't working for me either (tested on Python 3.9). I tried changing the imports from winrt to winsdk and it quietly crashes Python on this line (before OCR has even been run):

screen-ocr/screen_ocr/_winrt.py

Line 39 in e513277

data_writer.write_bytes(bytes_list)

[LoggeL]

Yeah had similar results. The datawriter just silently crashed the process :/

FYI I updated the package to use winsdk now that it is working.
