Not able to install pywin32

[SnehashishGiri]

I am trying to build an python app in docker container but pywin32 not getting installed.
FROM python:3.8.2
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
RUN python -m pip install -U pip
RUN pip install wmi
RUN python -m pip install pywin32

Its throwing error as
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywin32

Tried with
RUN python -m pip install pypiwin32
Getting error
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywin32>=223 (from pypiwin32)

Are you able to install this outside of a container environment?

Both are not working in docker container.
This is a Python extensions for Microsoft Windows Provides access to much of the Win32 API, the ability to create and use COM objects, and the Pythonwin environment.

That module is for Windows only; it won't work in a Linux container. You need to switch to Windows containers if you want a chance at that module working (but even then, it may or may not work inside a container, since the Windows container environment is more minimal than a standard Windows installation).

[SnehashishGiri]

What would be the solution to it. As in Windows Container too its not working

In Windows Container getting error for all pip command.

That looks to me like #359

I've just tested this again today with the latest python:3.8 image, and it appears to be fixed/working?
