pip install --force-reinstall dist/*.whl on Windows

[scalver1234]

Hello. I can't get the wildcard to work on Windows. Python 3.8 Tried from command prompt and powershell and windows terminal

PS C:\E30zonewiki\mediawiki-scraper> pip install --force-reinstall dist/.whl WARNING: Requirement 'dist/.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist ERROR: *.whl is not a valid wheel filename.

Searching for "ERROR: *.whl is not a valid wheel filename." on the web leads to various discussions about Windows not expanding wildcard paths.

Using the full filename instead gets a successfull install: pip install --force-reinstall dist/wikiteam3-3.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

For Windows command prompt use the following instead: for %w in (dist\*.whl) do pip install --force-reinstall %w

I don't know what the workaround in Powershell should be.

For Powershell do pip install --force-reinstall (Get-ChildItem .\dist\*.whl).FullName
