Error message

scipy-0.15.1-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform

What happened

Pip incorrectly determined the operating system to be 32-bit rather than 64-bit as specified in the file name.

The solution

Rename the file to:

scipy-0.15.1-cp34-none-win32.whl

and try again.  This will work and install the 64-bit version of scipy.

    Renaming to 32bit let me install scipy. However, when I try running a program, I am running into the following error,

    File “C:PythonPython36-32libsite-packagesscipy_lib_ccallback.py”, line 1, in
    from . import _ccallback_c
    ImportError: cannot import name ‘_ccallback_c’

    I read somewhere that it could mean the scipy installation is incorrect. What’s your take?

    scipy-0.19.1-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl this is the wheel I installed from (It is a 64bit file).

    Appreciate your help!
