The phrase "it doesn't happen" isn't very useful. Please edit your question to show the command that you tried and the response from `pip`. – Roland Smith Apr 02 '17 at 08:09

Method 1
As already answered here, you simply have to use pip command to install whl file as well,
pip install some-package.whl assuming .whl file is in the same directory you are running command from, if not just provide the complete path like
pip install C:\somedir\mypackage.whl
Method 2
Alternatively you can unzip the .whl file using 7-zip. Then in the unzipped directory you will find the module which you can copy and paste in the directory C:/Python34/Lib/site-packages/ (or wherever else you have installed Python). as already anwered here
This method only works if there is not extension module to be compiled, therefore in this case it won't work as pointed out by @roland-smith

This particular package contains an extension module that needs to be compiled. So method 2 won't work. – Roland Smith Apr 02 '17 at 08:06
