Hi,

I have been trying to install openpyxl via the control panel but it gives me a generic error message when trying to start the installation.

I have been trying with Winpython 64 bits 3.4.4.1 and 3.4.3.5. And I tried with the last 2 versions of openpyxl 2.4.0 and 2.3.5

Any idea what could be the problem? Any alternative way to install in winpython?

Thanks

try this :
- download openpyxl-2.3.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ into a directory d:\toto (for example)
- launch "WinPython Command Prompt.exe"
- type "pip install d:\toto\openpyxl-2.3.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl"

Thanks I will try it

Will it work with newer versions of openpyxl?

well, if an update, you may rather do an "uninstall" + "install" :

"pip uninstall d:\toto\openpyxl-2.3.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl"
"pip install d:\toto\openpyxl-3.0.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl"
