Python error when installing package using wheel files

I am trying to install pyHook with a wheel file (.whl) but for some reason it keeps giving me this error:

pyHook-1.5.1-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

I got the wheel file from this website:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

The command I use is:

pip install pyHook-1.5.1-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

I have no idea what to do, I cant find any suggestions.

You may not have installed the correct one for your operating system check whether it is the 32 bit or 64 bit variant and install it again

I ran into the same issues whilst trying to install pyhook on Python 3.4. I downloaded the correct version from python software foundation.

I had to manually change the name of the file from pyHook_3k_compiled-1.5.1-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl to pyHook-1.5.1-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl.

pip install pyHook-1.5.1-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

And it worked!

You are installing a Wheel created for Python 3.4, into Python 2.7. That won't work. Use the correct version and download the one with cp27 in the name:

pyHook‑1.5.1‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl
