How to install this wheel?

Question

I managed to install pip but when I use pip to install the downloaded wheel, it prints:

C:\\Python34\\Scripts\\pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64         


        

Answer 1

i tried a different version using 64 bit anaconda and it works fine

pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl

cp35 works a charm.

Answer 2

pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

this worked on my computer with Python2.7.3(64bit) while other versions not worked.

Answer 3

Use pip to install wheel files using the full path:

C:\Python34\Scripts\pip install C:\Python34\Scripts\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

Without the path the name is seen as a requirement rather than a already-downloaded file. This should work for wheel files that support your current Python architecture. You can verify your architecture with:

C:\Python34\python.exe -c "import distutils.util; print(distutils.util.get_platform())"

This should print win_amd6. If it prints win32 instead, you have a 32-bit Python binary and need to pick a different wheel.

Answer 4

Install wheel support for pip:

pip install wheel

Install the downloaded wheel:

pip install path/to/pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

Answer 5

I had to remove the 64bit python and install the 32bit version to solve this issue.

c:\python34\scripts\pip install c:\users\USER\downloads\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win32.whl
Unpacking c:\users\USER\downloads\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: pygame
Successfully installed pygame
Cleaning up...

Worked fine with 32bit :)
