Hi all,

Been trying to install Phoenix and am hitting a roadblock. I have WinPython 3.4 32bit, so I download the corresponding version:  


But it comes back with this error:

wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev1814+ee5547a-cp34-none-win32.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Whoops, hit post before I was done

Anyway, I tried a few other cp34 32 bit downloads, but none of them work. I'm downloading WinPython x64 now to see if I have better luck with that arch, but I'm still at a loss.

x64 doesn't work, and neither does the method described here: http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/README.txt

I had the same issue. In your case, you need to make sure a 32-bit Python 3.4 interpreter is installed on your operating system and also that this Python interpreter is registered as the main Python interpreter on your operating system, if you have multiple Python interpreters installed that is. Try typing python in the Command Prompt and you'll see which Python interpreter fires up – the one fired up is your main Python interpreter.

If all else fails, try a different command, like: python -m pip install wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev1814+ee5547a-cp34-none-win32.whl

Reply if you succeded using the above command.

I have python 2.7, which is the main one, and python 3.4, which I've renamed to python3.exe so that it's different in the PATH. Using that command with python3 worked though, thank you very much!

Ryan,

Do you have a particular reason to specify a particular file, instead of
just doing this:

Py2.7:
C:\python27\scripts\pip.exe install --upgrade --trusted-host wxpython.org --pre -f http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/ wxPython_Phoenix

Py3.4:
C:\python34\scripts\pip.exe install --upgrade --trusted-host wxpython.org --pre -f http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/ wxPython_Phoenix

Above will then select the most recent version.

Werner

Only because that didn't work for me, it kept saying that there were no valid files found.

Werner, never assume that Python is installed under C:\python27 or C:\python34. I, for example, have it installed under C:\Program Files\Python 3.4. Not trying to burst your bubble, just saying.

Do you still get that error? One can get it when a build is in process,
i.e. not all wheels are generated.

Are you on current versions of pip and setuptools? See:
