[Viktor Ransmayr]

Hello community,

I'm having problems installing pyenchat 2.0.0 via pip into a virtual environment using Python 3.6 on Windows 10. - Here's the log:

Any idea what I did wrong - and/or - how I can force that the available wheel is selected? - TIA!

With kind regards,

Viktor

Hi Viktor,

Are you using a 64-bit build of python by any chance? The current
binary wheels don't work on 64-bit windows, because I simply don't have
the time or energy to dive into the details of building them. There's a
lot of history on the issue here:
