Win32API Troubles

[daaaabs]

Hi, so I've had this code that caused the mouse cursor to move in a specific pattern. I ran it via Windows Powershell via the following steps:

- running Powershell as admin
- pasting '[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$env:Path;C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36")' (outside quotes not included of course)
- typing 'python'
- pasting the actual code

It worked effectively before, then all of a sudden, without uninstalling or changing anything, I get this error:

1 2 3

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module> NameError: name 'win32api' is not defined

Anyone know the root cause of this and how to fix this? I apologize if it's an easy fix and this is a dumb question, I'm in the extreme shallow ends when it comes to the language. I have tried reinstalling mouse/keyboard packages, win32api, and even python itself. Again, it was working just fine for the longest time, then all of a sudden this error came up. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks! Code itself is just below:

may I ask why that complicated scheme running the code? What does "pasting actual code", where it comes from? Why not simply save the code as py files and run it the normal way?

it looks like import win32api was changed probably by mistake - import was deleted and first line in empty, second line is just win32api. But that is just a guess based on the traceback

I'm running it for a game, and it basically requires it to be through Powershell. I have the code in its own document, and I'd always just paste it into Powershell (after I did those previously stated steps). The one thing I neglected to mention, was what Powershell displayed in the actual code; that error I pasted is what it says below after I hit enter. Here's what it says on the actual code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62

You see, it keeps saying that the module cannot be found. Thing is, it has always been installed and it was working before. Out of the blue this issue happened. Tried reinstalling, same issue. Odd issue and I'm out of ideas on how to fix it :/
