python - How to clear the AttributeError for win32com of "object has no attribute 'GetNameSpace'"

Question

I'm trying to download emails and pdf attachments for a certain time range but when trying to run it in Python, I'm receiving the error: "AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Outlook 16.0 Object Library._Application instance at 0x1796763072736>' object has no attribute 'GetNameSpace'"

It used to work last week but not sure what went wrong with the code since I haven't touched it either. Sharing my entire code below.

import win32com.client
import os
import time
import datetime as dt
import re

DateFilter = dt.datetime.now() - dt.timedelta(days = 2)

#Outlook MAPI
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNameSpace("MAPI")
#Inbox Folder
inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
#Download Path
path = os.path.expanduser("~\Desktop")
#Sort emails in inbox
messages = inbox.Items
messages.Sort("[ReceivedTime]", True)
#Filter emails to go through
DateFilterMsg = messages.Restrict("[ReceivedTime] >= '" + DateFilter.strftime('%m/%d/%Y %H:%M %p')+"'")

for message in DateFilterMsg:
    #Saving pdf attachments and their emails
    for attachment in message.attachments:
        if attachment.FileName.find(".pdf") > -1:
            attachment.SaveAsFile(f"{path}\Email Downloader\attachments\{attachment.FileName}")
            emailname = str(message.subject)
            emailname = re.sub('[^A-Za-z0-9]+', ' ', emailname)
            print(emailname)
            mailName = f"{path}\Email Downloader\emails\{emailname}.msg"
            message.SaveAs(mailName)
