Install of .whl python file not working

I just installed Python 2.7.12 (32bit) on Windows 10 (64bit) workstation.

Now, I am trying to install pywin32-220.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl from this Python Library Website.

Attempted to install by

pip install pywin32-220.1-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

And cmd is hanging for past 20 minutes. Please advise.

Update

Solution is install pywin32-217.win32-py2.7.exe from sourceforge.org

Solution

  • pip likes to check for updates after doing what the command requires: if you are offline or behind a proxy it is going to take a very long time.

    Add option --disable-pip-version-check to all pip command lines.
