I'm trying to install python gtk on a windows 7 64-bit machine. I'm following
python pygtk windows 7 64 bit
to do so. I've followed steps 1-4 in this link, and all was fine, but on step 5 (installing the libraries gtk,PyCairo,goobject), there are no .exe's in the link. I followed comments in the answer, which say to pip install the .whl file. So I installed pip:
"pip --version" in CMD yields "pip 8.1.2 from c:\python35-32\lib\site-packages (python 3.5)".
Also,
"python --version" in CMD yields "Python 3.5.2".
Then, in CMD:
>pip install pycairo_gtk-1.10.0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
pycairo_gtk-1.10.0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
So I then searched this online and found this post:
filename.whl is not supported wheel on this platform
Which just seems to indicate that the filename needs to be of a particular format.
Question: Is the filename I downloaded somehow wrong? Or needs to be renamed?
I'm sorry if this is just a duplicate of the last link, but it seems to me that a step-by-step of installing python gtk is incomplete for windows 7 64-bit, which is the root of my question.

So I have this little problem. When I try to install Pygame for Python 3.4 I download a .whl (wheel?) file and don't know how to use it. Some guys told me something about pip but don't know how to use/install it.
You can install the wheel file for Python 3.4 here:
First you have to install the wheel package from pip then install Pygame.
pip install wheel
pip install pygame‑1.9.2a0‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl
Here's a video to help you install pip on Youtube.
Here is a great VIDEO tutorial: http://goo.gl/PurJqk (it is on youtube)
This is what I use to install .whl modules to python (I do this in the 64 bit windows cmd):
cd "C:\Users\(YOUR USERNAME)\Desktop"
(assuming that you have the .whl file on your desktop)
C:\Python34\Scripts\pip install filename.whl
(where filename.whl is the full name of the .whl file, with the .whl extension)
After that it will install, and you are free to use PyGame!
14 y/o? Good for you! You can put the file into your python/scripts folder and run pip install *file* (where *file* is your filename).
Here is a link to download pygame for different versions of Python, up to Python 3.4 in 32 bit and 64 bit.
To test if it installed properly, open your python shell and type in this code:
import pygame
Please note that these are not official binaries and you are basically trusting a third-party to compile and provide the binary for you.
Step 1
If you have not got python version 3.4.2, then you must uninstall your current version of python (or don't if you don't even have python).
Step 2
Then download and install python 3.4.2 from http://filehippo.com/download_python/58901/ .
Step 3
Follow the instructions and wait until it is ready for use.
Step 4
Now download the 'pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win32.whl' file from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame and copy it into C:\Python34\Scripts .
Step 5
In C:\Python34\Scripts hold the shift key and right click. Click on 'Open new command window here'.
Step 6
In the command window you have opened, type in:
pip3 install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win32.whl
It will say something like:
Unpacking C:\Python34\Scripts\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: pygame
Successfully installed pygame
Cleaning up...
And it will then just say C:\Python34\Scripts>, which means that pygame has now been installed!
Step 7
Go to the Python 3.4.2 Shell, and type in:
import pygame
if there is an error, pygame didn't install properly, otherwise, congratulations!
You can then:
import pygame.examples.aliens as game
and then on the next line type in:
game.main()
to see a professional pygame example.

Good Luck! :)
https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads
"pygame-1.9.2a0-hg_5974ff8dae3c+.win32-py3.4.msi"
This is the package you want, RedNax said this but did not point out the exact package.
The other answer doesn't work for me on Windows 10 Pro N x64.
What did work was installing the win32.whl instead of amd64. I put this in my Python3.4\Scripts folder where pip is and ran
pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win32.whl
This should work for others using a similar configuration.
In my experience, you need to make sure of two things:
1) Both Python and Pygame should be 32 bit - not either or both being 64 bit.
2) Both Python and Pygame should be compatible for the same version.
You may be able to get the 64 bit version to work, but not all packages have migrated to 64 bit and the small performance improvement isn't worth the frustration of trying to get it to work.
I also found the latest 32 bit Pygame (as of Feb. 5th, 2016) seems to work well with 32 bit Python 3.4.4.
I installed 32 bit python-3.4.4.msi on Windows 10 from my downloads folder to the folder C:\Python34.
Within the Python34 folder, I created a folder called "Project Directory".
In it, I placed "pygame-1.9.2a0-hg_ea3b3bb8714a.win32-py3.4.msi" which I think I got from https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads. Double-clicked on it. Worked the first time.
I had also installed "Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 with Update 1."
No idea if this helped solve the problem, but this MVSC package installs a lot of DLLs. It takes quite a while to get MVSC installed.
But - I now have Pygame working on Windows 10.
For linux if you root user then copy paste this into terminal
apt-get install python3-dev mercurial
apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
apt-get install libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libportmidi-dev
apt-get install python-numpy
pip3 install --user hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
If you not root user then use sudo before start every-line.
I am trying to install lxml with Python (32 bits) 3.5.1, on Windows 7 64 bits. I tried pip install lxml, but I got the famous error for missing "vcvarsall.bat". If I try to Install visual studio 2015, it requires 6 GB of free space, which I do not have available at the moment, and I'd rather not install a package which I do not plan to use.
I tried downloaded the wheel as suggested here and here, but I still get the whl file "is not a supported wheel on this platform". Wheel and pip are upgraded to the latest versions. What am I missing...?
I have been struggling with this today. I found, elsewhere on stackoverflow.com, this two-part and quick solution, which resulted in python no longer complaining when I tried to use lxml:
go to this repository and download a version which matches your Python installation (the version number, and 32- vs 64-bit. I use Python 3.5.1 64-bit, installed on Windows 10, so on that page, I chose lxml-3.6.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl. You say you use the 32-bit version, so use a version that matches that.
My download directory is d:\Downloads. Python must be in your PATH environment variable for the next step to work. Use a command like the following, changing "D:\Downloads" to the pathname to your download directory. Then, at a DOS prompt, type:
python -m pip install "D:\Downloads\lxml-3.6.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl" lxml-3.6.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
I am using windows 8.1 with python 3.4 installed. I want to install pygame on my computer. I download pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl and try to install it like this
C:\Users\hp pc\Downloads>pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl
but it shows an error like this
pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform
Is it a problem with my windows?
Kindly help me to fix it if there is any way to fix it.
Hi I had the same problems. I Just used the normal pygame download (http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml) and it worked just fine despite not being 64bit
Here is a link a link for the unafishal download that may have what you are looking for: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame
hope you can get it to work for you (-:
I had this problem also on my "windows 8 64bit" with the 64 bit version of pygame. Which only runs on a 64bit python installation, I had at one time or another installed both versions.
To fix it I had to uninstall then reinstall the 64 bit Python and get it from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame
Then I followed this guide for Installing the Windows 64-bit Version of Pygame
then I installed the wheel on windows 8 you need to remember to use the full path and 3.4 already had pip included
c:\python34\scripts\pip install c:\python34\scripts\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl
So I have this little problem. When I try to install Pygame for Python 3.4 I download a .whl (wheel?) file and don't know how to use it. Some guys told me something about pip but don't know how to use/install it.

I would like to install python3 with lxml on windows 7.
There seems to be several versions available.
What's the best version/way to install?
By best I mostly mean the easiest.
Points if I don't have to compile anything.
I had the same problem locating the correct version. After several hours of confusion I finally found the windows binary for Python 3 at Christoph Gohlke's Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages website at UC, Irvine.
He truly has the A-Z of Python extensions, as long as it's available for Python. Anything one could want from the PIP installer to Chinese word segmentation, to a multi-taper Fourier spectral estimator. Beyond that it gets into biologic & scientific specialty extensions.
Use the current stable version of 3, 3.2.2. You can find a windows installer here http://python.org/ftp/python/3.2.2/python-3.2.2.msi that will install python for you.
Use the Python Package Index version of lxml: it has a windows installer specifically for Python 3.
http://pypi.python.org/packages/3.1/l/lxml/lxml-2.2.8.win32-py3.1.exe#md5=d1fb73a8596bb77e155cef7ae6b0bc53
Download and run the Python installer then download and run the lxml installer: it should be that easy.
No compilations and IMHO, the best way:
Mainly because the instructions below the most complete and still FAST to complete. On more than one occasions, using just the MSI and the LXML binaries, I've run into issues with the install breaking/getting gcc and mingw errors.
These instructions are for Windows7 or Windows8 with Python3.3.
However, they should work for various versions as the releases of python and other respective prerequisites change/evolve:
Install Python3.3:
Download the last release of Python3.3 (currently 3.3.5) from the downloads page HERE
Direct link for Win32 MSI installer -> HERE
Direct link for Win64 MSI installer -> HERE
Simply run the MSI to install python. It will register itself in the registry, and appear in Add/REmove Programs.
NOTE: my instructions that follow assume that you choose to install python to the default path of C:\python33\ when asked during the Python Installation Wizard
Add the C:\python33\ and C:\python33\scripts folders to the system path by adding those directories to the PATH environment variable from the Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings link (Advanced Tab) > Environmental Variables (Button).
(OPTIONAL) Install OpenSSL:
Download Win32 OpenSSL page from HERE for your version of Windows and PC architecture
Download Visual C++ 2008 redistributables for your version of Windows and PC architecture
Download OpenSSL for your version of Windows and architecture (the regular version, not the light one)
Add the following (depending on your architecture) directory (or wherever you insalled to) to your PATH, the same way you added C:\python33 and C:\python33\scripts above:
32-bit: c:\openssl-win32\bin
64-bit: c:\openssl-win64\bin
Install Setuptools (get-pip.py should install Setuptools for you), but, just in case...
Download ez_setup.py HERE and save it in C:\python33\scripts
Run C:\python33\scripts> python ez_setup.py
Install PIP
Download get-pip.py from HERE and save it in C:\python33\scripts
Run C:\python33\scripts> python get-pip.py
Install LXML
Download LXML 3.3.3 from HERE for your version of Windows and PC architecture
Run the EXE file
The latest version of lxml (3.6.0) now supports the Wheel format, so there is no problem with installing it with pip:
pip install lxml
Worth noting that Python3 is only supported on Windows 7 up to version 3.8.6 - beyond that it fails to install with an error similar to the following in the Python log file:
[2490:291C][2020-11-14T14:22:21]e000: Windows 8.1 or later is required to continue installation
This is mentioned in the Python Releases for Windows download page:
Note that Python 3.9.0 cannot be used on Windows 7 or earlier.
[...]
Note that Python 3.8.6 cannot be used on Windows XP or earlier.
Hence if installing with Chocolatey, the following command is needed:
choco install python3 --version 3.8.6
