filename.whl is not supported wheel on this platform

Question

I would like to install scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl that I have saved to the 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

The problem here is due to cp33 which means CPython 3.3 but here you need scipy‑0.15.1‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl instead of that.
