Python 3.7 is installed on my 64 bit machine. When I try running pip3 install, I get the message that the wheel file is not supported on my platform.

Here's what I've checked so far :

  • cp36 in the file name means that I need Python 3.6 or above, so 3.7 fits the bill
  • my python installation is 64 bits as well (https://stackoverflow.com/a/36158157/3128109)
  • Since platform requirements are taken from the name of the file, I tried changing the name to MontagePy-1.0.1-cp36-none-any.whl, but I get the same error.
  • pip --version says pip 19.0.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pip (python 3.4). Could this be the root of the problem? If so, how would I get pip to run with 3.7 rather than 3.4?

What could cause this platform incompatibility?

The debug log says

/usr/bin/pip3 run on Fri Mar  1 14:09:04 2019
MontagePy-1.0.1-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

    No, `cp36` in the file name means that you need Python 3.6 **exactly**. Use Python 3.6 or download a wheel for 3.7. – phd Mar 01 '19 at 13:51

    You could also try installing from the source package if they don't have a wheel for Python 3.7 yet. – Iguananaut Mar 04 '19 at 15:18
  • @Iguananaut That's a good idea. Unfortunately, their source package only has a build command for the wheel file. – usernumber Mar 04 '19 at 16:12
  • @usernumber Did you find a solution? Is there a way to modify the source code to make it work on a higher version? I'm trying to get it on 3.10, but it just won't work – James Huang Oct 15 '22 at 20:12
