Novice programmer here. I've been getting the following error while trying to install pyautogui:

Some of the solutions I've come across are to install wheel and to modify setup.py. Wheel is installed, but I can't find setup.py. What should I do?

  • not really. it says the solution is to install wheel, but i've already done that. after that, there are some solutions regarding modifying the setup.py file, but i can't even find it. – Yiğit Kağan Poyrazoğlu Feb 26 '21 at 09:15
  • Not sure but run your CMD as admin then activate your virtual enviroment and run `pip install pipwin` then `pipwin install pyautogui`. Worth attempting, sorry if It doesn't work. – Rabbitminers Mar 21 '21 at 10:29
  • Or, if you have a it installed, try installing it with anaconda. Other Ideas, perhaps an older/newer version of python may work, I see you are on 3.8, perhaps that is the issue it runs fine for me on 3.9 and 3.7 – Rabbitminers Mar 21 '21 at 10:31
