trying to install pycuda, getting zip error?


windows 10, python 2.7 64 bit

hello, following a guide to this step :

pip install pipwin
pipwin install pycuda

gives me those options

Package `pycuda` found in cache
Choose version to download.

[0] : 2014.1+cuda6514
[1] : 2015.1.3+cuda7518

no matter what i choose , i get the following error(last line):

  File "c:\users\skpok\anaconda2\lib\zipfile.py", line 811, in _RealGetContents
    raise BadZipfile, "File is not a zip file"
BadZipfile: File is not a zip file

Anyone knows this mistake?


Solution

  • Updated:

    The download link below is expired. You can find the latest version of pycuda in http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pycuda

    -------------

    I got the same error. Maybe the package is damaged.

    Downloading package . . .
    http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/WjTMc73K/pycuda-2015.1.3+cuda7518-cp27-none-win32.whl  <--- **damaged package?**
    

    You can download this package:

    http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/wkvprmqy/pycuda-2015.1.3+cuda7518-cp27-none-win32.whl
    

    and then:

    pip install "pycuda-2015.1.3+cuda7518-cp27-none-win32.whl"
    

    It would be OK.
