I had the same issue. Using verbose helped me to find out a bit more the reason: $ pip3 uninstall –verbose my-homemade-package Not sure how to uninstall: my-homemade-package e48e635 – Check: /home/olivier/my-homemade-package Can’t uninstall ‘my-homemade-package’. No files were found to uninstall. Removing everything that was ‘my-homemade-package’ related in /usr/local/python2.x and /usr/local/python3.x did not help. I … Read more
Running pip install wheel or pip3 install wheel or python3 -m pip install wheel solved the issue for me
As previously mentioned, .whl files are just ZIP archives. You can just open them and poke around in the METADATA file. There is a tool, however, that can make this manual process a bit easier. You can use pkginfo, which can be installed with pip. CLI usage: $ pip install pkginfo $ pkginfo -f requires_dist … Read more
This answered it for me (directly from the wheel PEP): Python needs a package format that is easier to install than sdist. Python’s sdist packages are defined by and require the distutils and setuptools build systems, running arbitrary code to build-and-install, and re-compile, code just so it can be installed into a new virtualenv. This … Read more
Short answer: rename the file to numpy-1.9.1%2Bmkl-cp34-none-win32.whl to install it. You can check what tags your pip tool accepts for installation by running: import pip; print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported()) In this case pip is incorrectly detecting your operating system to be 32-bits and the file you’re trying to install was win_amd64 in its filename. If you rename the … Read more
I too got the same problem. I downloaded get-pip.py from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py and then ran python2.7 get-pip.py for installing pip2.7. And then ran the pip install command with python2.7 as follows. For Ubuntu/Linux: python2.7 -m pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.5.0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl For Mac OS X: python2.7 -m pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl This should work just fine as it did for … Read more
You can take the wheel file change the extension to .zip and then extract the contents like any other zip file. from PEP 427 A wheel is a ZIP-format archive with a specially formatted file name and the .whl extension. Example the Django python package has a wheel file. Try Django-1.8.4-py2.py3-none-any.whl as an example. Their … Read more
This worked for me: sudo pip install setuptools –no-use-wheel –upgrade Note it’s usage of sudo UPDATE On Windows you just need to execute pip install setuptools –no-use-wheel –upgrade as an administrator. In Unix/Linux, the sudo command is for elevating permissions. UPDATE 2 This appears to have been fixed in 1.5.1.
You need to install the wheel package, like this: pip install wheel
You will need to create a setup.py file for your package. Make sure you have the latest setuptools and pip installed. Then run the following: python setup.py bdist_wheel This will create a wheel file for your package. This assumes you don’t have C/C++ headers, DLLs, etc. If you do, then you’ll probably have a lot … Read more
