install pygame-1.9.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl for python 3.6

Question

I would like to install pygame-1.9.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl for python 3.6(64 bit)

I did download wheel-0.30.0 and upgraded it

but when i run : C:\Users\hp>pip install pygame-1.9.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

i get: pygame-1.9.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I would like to know what the problem is?

Answer 1

That wheel is for the (unreleased, development) version 3.7 of CPython, on a 64-bit version of ms-windows.

Look here and pick the wheel that matches your Python version and platform, where

• cp27 → CPython 2.7
• cp34 → CPython 3.4
• cp35 → CPython 3.5
• cp36 → CPython 3.6

and

• win32 → 32-bit version of ms-windows
• win_amd64 → 64-bit version of ms-windows
