The question is why I see the error message in the title when trying to import enchant. I am using Win64.

    Didn't work. This did `sudo apt-get install python-enchant` – pratpor Aug 14 '15 at 10:36

    For search engines. Related answers are often what people are actually looking for. Seems like stack exchange is more for looking for general answers than a user-to-user site – lyjackal Mar 01 '19 at 16:23

I found the answer in this GitHub page.

In a nutshell, they have not shipped a wheel for the win_amd64 platform yet.

    Is there a resolution to this? I am trying to use it on Windows 10 64 bit in Python 3.4.3. – Bonson Sep 06 '15 at 12:39

    One solution is to use 32 bit python 2.7 as mentioned in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37771227/install-pyenchant-on-a-windows-64-bit-machine (Indigo8's answer) – Kaushik Acharya Jul 14 '16 at 06:30
  • Is there a solution to this for Pydroid? Trying to write on my mobile but its returning this error – Kyoujin Aug 25 '22 at 20:02

Resolved: On Win7-64 I ran

pip3 install pyenchant==1.6.6

which seems to be the latest version of PyEnchant that still shipped with Win-64 binaries. Newer versions did not install for me, but this one did.

For me, the problem I ran into was that I had an old version of pip. I installed the latest version and was able to download the pyenchant library.

pip install -U pip

On Windows x64 I've solved this problem as follows:

  • Click link https://pypi.org/project/pyenchant/#files and download pyenchant-2.0.0.win32.exe
  • Launch it and while installing it using the installation wizard you must specify your python interpreter location which in my case is:

C:\Users\Asus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe

Important:İf you use python32 interpreter you must specify this location:

C:\Users\Asus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe

if you use python 3.5 interpreter version your location may be like this:

C:\Users\Asus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\python.exe

and finish the installation. Pip commands will work now for other dependency packages.

  1. With apt-get:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install enchant-2
  1. With apt:

Thank you

I have fix the bugs on the colab.

!apt update !apt install enchant --fix-missing

After fixing the missing files, you could run the enchant.
