I am trying to use Py2exe to create a executable file for a app that uses webview to load a website, created using pywebview package on pip but I keep on getting this error that says:-

The error pops on while executing an example on github on the link below:- https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview/blob/master/examples/py2exe_setup.py

I had the same error as you and I just installed the "pywin32" Library and it worked. Note that I have installed Anaconda3 before that and so I used conda to install the pywin32 package:

conda install pywin32
