No module named 'pywintypes'

so as the title says, I can't import pywintypes. I read through all the existing questions but failed to find a solution that works.

Here's my setup:

Python install: C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39
Pip install directory: P:/pip

I guess the issue is that pip installs in the 'wrong directory' but here's what I tried so far: Copy both dlls from P:/pip/pywin32_system32 to:

pip install pywin32 & 
pip install pypiwin32

I'm trying to initialize pyttsx3. Thank you in advance!

Just because this thread came up for me when I was asking my question, I'll post my "solution" here.

My problem was very strange because through cmd I could run python and then simply import pywintypes, but the call failed in IDLE and threw the module not found error.

The solution? Rebooting. Christ knows how many hours I spent going down this rabbit hole only for a reboot to be the solution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: I should also add that I followed a few other suggested solutions and copied certain .dll files to site-package directories and stuff like that. It may be related.
