ImportError: The 'enchant' C library was not found. Please install it via your OS package manager, or use a pre-built binary wheel from PyPI

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
