From what I understand, TestComplete comes with minimal installation of Python, and each version of TestComplete comes with a version of Python. TestComplete v15.42.9.7 x64 comes with Python 3.8.10 x64.

 

Therefore, you need to download the same version of Python and follow Python - Specifics of Usage

 

Alternative method, is to open WHL file and extract the folder to e.g. <TestComplete>\x64\Bin\Extensions\Python\Python38\Lib (depending on your version) and use

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "<TestComplete>\x64\Bin\Extensions\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages")
import your_library_name

I have pycurl here

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 15\Bin\Extensions\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages\curl

My Code

from os import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 15\Bin\Extensions\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages')

def test2():
      curl = pycurl.Curl()

 

Generates the error: Python runtime error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pycurl'
