Hello all

I have a wheel file targetting py 3.5 but I installed latest python 3.6.1rc1

Is it possible to force install wheel built for Python 3.5 on python 3.6.1?

Thanks

No It's for 3.5
You can however install 3.5 on same system.
see https://python-forum.io/Thread-Install-P...e-Computer

Python3.6 is fairly new. And it takes a little bit for everything to get updated. Usually the latest is not the greatest in this case. 

What is the package you are trying to install? There might be a dev release to your wanted library for 3.6, or another location to find the package than where you are looking

There should be no problem to install wheel that has 3.5 as target to 36.

Great to see many replies

On Python 3.5 wheel is installed without an issue.

@snippsat : I'm not able to install on higher versions. Below is the error on 3.6.1
nxpy-13.5.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

May be while building wheel we should specify py platform range to allow on multiple verions
