python - filename.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform

Question

I saw the same question but it didn't work for me.

pip install PyOpenGL.3.1.1-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

also I have the same problem for Numpy

pip install numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

Then I get:

numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. Storing debug log for failure in C://Users/myUsername/pip/pip.log

I'm using 64-bit and Python 3.4.0

What is wrong?

Answer 1

You'll probably have to rename your whl file like this numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl before installing. Your pip has a finite number of tags it recognizes in wheel filenames.
