FileChooser raises NotImplementedError/ModuleNotFoundError without pywin32 on windows 10

[nWestie]

When using plyer FileChooser without kivy, it raises an error when it cannot find the win32 module. After installing pywin32, it works fine. Could pywin32 be added as a dependancy of plyer, to reduce confusion? Kivy installs it automatically on windows.

the full error/traceback:

I am on windows 10, with python 3.10

Hi @nWestie

Yes, do you want to take care of the PR and testing? (I do not have a Windows setup available ATM)

sure, I think I can figure out how to do that, I'll give it a shot this week sometime
