pip install pywifi on Windows errors. #18

Open wgaylord opened 7 years ago

It seems that the requirments might be messing up pip on windows.

C:\Users\chibi>pip install pywifi Collecting pywifi Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywifi (from versions: 1.0.2.linux-x86_64) No matching distribution found for pywifi

On windows it shouldn't care about that.

Yet if I download the zip of the repo and run pip install . in the directory with setup.py it installs just fine. I think it might be a misconfiguration on the PyPi end of pip.

It's really strange... I removed the comtypes (depending package) and pywifi, and then ran "pip install pywifi". It can be installed successfully on my Win10 x64 PC...

Hm. Could be pip is being stupid on my system. (Might need an update.) or just python 2's pip is dumb.

I am also having the same problem

C:\WINDOWS\system32> & 'C:\Program Files\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe' install pywifi
Collecting pywifi
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pywifi (from versions: 1.0.2.linux-x86_64)

It installs fine for python 3.6 but 2.7 is when the error pops up. comtypes installs fine for 2.7
