VS2017 Enterprise, Python 3.6 Virutal Environment and .whl file installation. pip

[metalray]

Hi sparkz_alot,
Thanks for your reply.

I downloaded python 3.5 and re-created
the whole virtual environment.

I opened cmd and cd to:

C:\Users\metalray\Downloads\iwt_django\iwt_django\iwt_django\env_iwt\Scripts

I type activate and end up with:

(env_iwt) C:\Users\metalray\Downloads\iwt_django\iwt_django\iwt_django\env_iwt\Sc
ripts>

when I type there:

pip install C:\Users\metalray\Downloads\pymssql-2.1.3-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

I read:
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

when I go back one directory with cd.. I end up in:

(env_iwt) C:\Users\metalray\Downloads\iwt_django\iwt_django\iwt_django\env_iwt>pi
p install C:\Users\metalray\Downloads\pymssql-2.1.3-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

and the error is again: pymssql-2.1.3-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform

You are using wrong wheel,to take it again.
Why are using 3.5,Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows.
And part-2 has detailed info about virtual environment.

So can do it cmd(which i do not like to use) cmder is just a lot better.

C:\>cd 1

# Make vir enviroment
C:\1>python -m venv env_iwt

# cd in
C:\1>cd env_iwt

# Activate vir enviroment
C:\1\env_iwt>C:\1\env_iwt\Scripts\activate.bat
(env_iwt) C:\1\env_iwt>

# Start Python
(env_iwt) C:\1\env_iwt>python

>>>exit()

(env_iwt) C:\1\env_iwt>python

So this is the python that's is in vir-environment.
You see that i have python in 32-bits version,then i need wheel  which is for 3.6 and 32-bit.
I have a 64-bit OS,but is the Python version that matter.

So then i need this wheel pymssql‑2.1.3‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl,for this vir-environment.
From Gohlke pymssql.

# Check that pip in vir-environment is used.
(env_iwt) C:\1\env_iwt>pip -V
