I'm trying to install Pyhook on Python 3.8.1via pip install Pyhook but I keep receiving this error message: 

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyhook (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyhook.

I also tried to download it from source and then to install it manually.

pip install C:\Users\Andrea\Downloads\pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl



ERROR: pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Maybe it's not compatible with Python3.8 since the last versione is cp37.

Could I install it in any way? Or I just need to use Python 3.7?

    Doesn't work for 3.7 either and I encounter the same error. Don't bother to downgrade the version of Python. – cdrrr Jan 29 '20 at 13:52

You can try doing the below steps:

  • Download the py hook module that matches your version of python from here. Make sure that if you have python 32 bit you download the 32 bit module (even if you have windows 64x) and vice versa.
  • Open your command prompt and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the module
  • Type pip install and then the name of the file.

Ex: pip install pyHook-1.5.1-cp27-none-win32.whl

  • Alredy tried, these are both the command and the output: pip install C:\Users\Andrea\Downloads\pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl ERROR: pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. – FyXs_Xeno Jan 29 '20 at 14:00

The file pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl which you have downloaded is only compatible with cp37, i.e. python 3.7, since you are using 3.8, this will not work.

Checking this site of whl file, there are also none for python 3.7, but there is a fork of pyhook called PyWinHook, for which the fitting whl is available

Note that you can always run in your cmd python -c "import wheel.pep425tags as w; print(w.get_supported())" to find which version of whl files are supported

Just check if python 3.7 is already installed in your system. If yes, then you can use it to install the 3.7 whl using the below command

py -3.7 -m pip install pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

you have to then launch the program from 3.7

py -3.7 program.py

Instead of pyHook install:

pip install pyWinhook

and in your program use the import:

import pyWinhook as pyHook
