Hi Team, 

I am new to wxpython. I am trying to install the whl version as I have to compile it otherwise by downloading vs. I have python 3.4 32-bit installed. When trying the below option to install the wheel
python -m pip install wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev2066+8a633f1-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl

I am getting error wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev2066+8a633f1-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. I have also tried 64 bit version also but getting the same error. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, on a phone, so a bit limited, but you should be able to point pip at the wheel page, and have it find the right one for you, rather than naming s specific file.

I think the command is on the wheel page readme.

Hi Chris,

Have you tried to download the wheel file then install it locally by: pip install *name-of-the-downloaded-wheel-file*

Or extract the wheel file and copy the containing folder to your python packages directory.

Hi Umar,

I tried the first option and it gives me wheel not supported error
 For second option I simply extracted the wxpython pheonix wheel for my platform and copied the wx package into  C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages folder. While importing I am getting below error
    from ._core import *
ImportError: No module named 'wx._core'

Thanks

python -m pip install --upgrade --no-index --find-links=http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/ --trusted-host wxpython.org wxPython_Phoenix

The method Chris recommended above does normally work but at the moment the latest .whl there is version dev2170 but that is only available for OS X and the latest for Windows is dev2163. So I think that's confusing things and it is trying to compile and build dev2170 on your machine - which needs a C compiler.

I tried using the original command you reported with Python 3.4 here under Windows 10 and it installed OK. I don't know if you are using virtualenv or anything but it might be worth double checking that you are actually running 3.4 by starting, then exiting Python just before you issue the command to install the wheel.

For the record, when this happens (the build of the newest version failing on one platform) then you can specify the version number of the previous build to the pip command and it will then download that version instead of trying to do a build from the newest version of the source tarball.
