I am trying to install the 'TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-*.whl' file with powershell (windows). I receive the message 'file ... looks like a filename, but the file does not exist'.

I run 'pip install C:\Programs\TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-*.whl' from C:\Programs> where the whl file is located.

I use python 2.7, yet I also tried with file 'TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp34-*.whl' with same result.

I looked online and at SO, for similar cases, but so far everything I tried keeps giving me the same red error message 'TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-*.whl is not a valid wheel filename'.

EDIT: the full message I receive in powershell is the following:

'Requirement 'C:\Programs\TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-.whl is not a valid wheel filename.'

Thank you for your help and suggestions.

  • Instead of paraphrasing the error message, could you copy and paste the exact error message? e.g. if it's `looks like a filename, but the file does not exist xyz.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform` please put that exactly. – Brian Cain Jun 07 '16 at 15:11

What ended up working for me is to write the full name of the file, instead of using '*' after the beginning of the file name. 'pip install' command works fine with the full name of the wheel (.whl) file - in this instance.
