I am trying to install the wheel xlrd-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl on a Windows 7 (64-bit) computer with Python v2.7.12 installed.
I get the following error message:
xlrd-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl is not a supported wheel for this platform.
I downloaded the wheel from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd which says that the wheel works for python 2.7+
The command I entered in CMD.EXE is:
python -m pip install xlrd-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
What am I missing??
Look the error message:
xlrd-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl is not a supported wheel for this platform.
I might be wrong, but py3 is Python 3. So not Python 2.7. With Python 2.7+, they maybe mean 2.7.xx+, so that's still Python 3.
Try installing it from here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlutils#downloads The py2.py3 version supports Python 2 and Python 3.
Or, maybe even pip will work fine:
pip install xlutils
pip install xlrd
