oups ! This was unexpected a wheel name.

I clearly didn't understood how to split wheels name in proper pieces. patch welcomed.

In the mean time, You can use "pip install sounddevice" to install it via the command line.

The computer where I am doing the installation is disconnected from the internet, but I have transferred the wheel file to it using the USB flash drive. Should I use an elevated "WinPython Interpreter.exe" to do the installation? I am confused about the pip command because the documentation I saw only downloads from the internet. WinPython already has all the dependencies of the sounddevice package. How do I install a wheel file that I already copied to my PC (with no internet connection)?

if your wheel is on "e:\BigWheelTheory\sounddevice-0.3.5-py2.py3.cp26.cp27.cp32.cp33.cp34.cp35.cp36.pp27.pp32.pp33.pp34.pp35.pp36-none-win_amd64.whl"

do pip install "e:\BigWheelTheory\sounddevice-0.3.5-py2.py3.cp26.cp27.cp32.cp33.cp34.cp35.cp36.pp27.pp32.pp33.pp34.pp35.pp36-none-win_amd64.whl"

With WinPython-64bit-3.5.2.3Qt5, I tried using "WinPython Interpreter.exe" from the WinPython root with elevated privileges. This didn't work because the pip command is not found. Is it a bug that "WinPython Interpreter.exe" doesn't set up the path?

I succeeded by using "WinPython Command Prompt.exe" from the WinPython root with elevated privileges, and typing the following command:

python -m pip install "e:\BigWheelTheory\sounddevice-0.3.5-py2.py3.cp26.cp27.cp32.cp33.cp34.cp35.cp36.pp27.pp32.pp33.pp34.pp35.pp36-none-win_amd64.whl"

pip checked the dependencies during the installation. I don't know if the -m option was important, but it is suggested at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sounddevice/

I can now import sounddevice from the console in Spyder. Also, sounddevice 0.3.5 now appears in the WinPython Control Panel. I hope this means I can uninstall sounddevice from the WinPython Control Panel if I need to.

"python -m pip" is needed to upgrade pip, as "pip.exe" directly would lock the "pip.exe" object and made the upgrade impossible. for all other packages "pip install" is just nice

Thanks for the explanation.

I have started testing sounddevice, so I can now declare that sounddevice is compatible with 64-bit Python 3.5. Therefore, this PR is with WinPython Control Panel and/or wppm.

@stonebig - Please identify the WinPython project source file that splits a wheel name into proper pieces. This will improve the chances that a kind soul will offer a patch.

https://github.com/winpython/winpython/blob/master/winpython/wppm.py#L143..L158

https://github.com/winpython/winpython/blob/master/winpython/utils.py#L477..488

How about adding a "Help Wanted" label?

@stonebig - Your instructions for using pip to install a local wheel (or pure Python source) file were very helpful to me, including the explanation about the -m option. I suggest updating the following page to help others who also encounter problems with wppm or WinPython Control Panel:

please do

any news on this decoding ? I don't find a simple using internal pip wires. I may have to do it myself

I may use .split(), much simpler to understand

ok, next version will allow to install imageio via wppm
imageio is not in 32 bit flavor though...
