Those errors suggest you are inside a Python environment. For example, the Python REPL starts with three chevrons, >>>. You don't want this. Run these commands outside of Python in the system command prompt either through Windows or Linux etc.
The following worked for me on Python 2.7:
> pip install pypiwin32
Also try the following from this post:
> python -m pip install pypiwin32
Install the package via command prompt or Terminal of your python IDE(ex: PyCharm)
pip install pywin32
first command work for me somehow.........
C:\Users\AL MARUF>pip install pypiwin32
