I know, you'd ask why I would want to this, so I have a WHL file to install on windows with a title like :
nameAndVersion-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
Sadly, it does not install the result is :
Error "filename.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform"
Yes I am running python 3.8 (3.8.10) on windows 10, 64bits(x86 not arm). I also checked that I was running CPython using the platform module in the interpreter.
At this point I am questioning whether the WHL file specifies it's requirements correctly.
I know they're just zip files, I looked into it but I do not know where is the data that allows pip to detect I am on the "wrong" platform ?
This is very weird because the same wheel installed on other windows 10 PCs running the exact same version of Python.
Could the root of the issue be how much newer the version of windows 10 is related to the WHL file ?
