filename.whl is not supported wheel on this platfo

Question

I would like to install scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl that I have saved to local drive. I am using:

pip 6.0.8 from C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
python 2.7.9 (default, Dec 10 2014, 12:28:03) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

when I run:

pip install scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl

I get the following error:

scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl is not supported wheel on this platform

I would like to know what the problem is?

Answer 1

Things to check:

1. You are downloading proper version like cp27 (means for python 2.7) cp36(means for python 3.6).

2. Check of which architecture (32 bit or 64 bit) your python is? (you can do it so by opening python idle and typing)

   import platform  
   platform.architecture()
   

Now download the file of that bit irrespective of your system architecture.

3. Check whether you're using the correct filename (i.e it should not be appended with (1) which might happen if you download the file twice)

4. Check if your pip is updated or not. If not you can use

   python -m pip install -upgrade pip

Answer 2

I'm deploying Flask using Python34 on IIS. The following steps worked for me

1. Upgrade pip
2. Install the wheel file for numpy
3. pip install pandas

Answer 3

Please do notice that all platform requirements are taken from the name of the *.whl file!

So be very careful with renaming of *.whl package. I occasionally renamed my newly compiled tensorflow package from

tensorflow-1.11.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl

to

tensorflow-1.11.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64_gpu.whl

just to remind myself about gpu support and struggled with

tensorflow-1.11.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64_gpu.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

error for about half an hour.

Answer 4

During Tensorflow configuration I specified python3.6. But default python on my system is python2.7. Thus pip in my case means pip for 2.7. For me

pip3 install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/NAME.whl

did the trick.

Answer 5

Change the filename to scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-any.whl and then run this command:

pip install scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-any.whl

It should work :-)

I had similar problem, installing a 64-bit version for python27 on windows 7 64bit. Everything was up-to-date, yet I got the message

scipy-0.18.1-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl is not supported wheel on this platform

Than I donwloaded a 32-bit whl and it worked.

pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

I suspect that the problem was probably that I dont have an AMD processor, rather and intel one, and the scipy 64bit version says amd64 in the end.
