Im one step closer thank you.

Now getting this error message when running that code

C:\Python27>pywallet.py --dumpwallet --wallet=.\wallet.dat
Warning: 'ecdsa' package is not installed, so you won't be able to sign/verify m
essages but everything else will work fine

This is just for the mentioned features;
but if you wish to get rid of the error, just install ecdsa package through pip: pypi.org/project/ecdsa

(22, 'Invalid argument -- C:\\Python27\\wallet.dat: unexpected file type or form

ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this
again.

I tried to open this file with Bitcoin core before using pywallet and got a similar "data is not in recognized format" error.

Wondering if im SOL

That indicates that the wallet.dat may be corrupted, also Bitcoin Core throws a similar error so that should confirm it.

I think you need to start your own thread in Bitcoin Technical Support board for corrupted wallet.dat recovery options.
