Solution

  • I think you are trying to install polyglot and you are having that problem, if you just want to install PyICU you don't need to install the PyCLD2.whl, but all the other instructions are the same:

    To install polyglot in Windows using a Python 3.6 or Python 3.7 you will need a wheel for two dependencies:

    You need to download them and then install them with pip from your local machine.

    Here you will found many unofficial python builds: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

    install PyICU.whl
install PyCLD2.whl

    (Do Ctrl+F "pyicu" and "pycld" because otherwise, it's difficult to navigate this website)

    In both cases, you will need to be able to choose the right version of the build for your Windows version and your python version.

    It's easy, for example for PyICU:

    PyICU wraps the ICU (International Components for Unicode) library.

PyICU‑2.3.1‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl
PyICU‑2.3.1‑cp27‑cp27m‑win_amd64.whl
PyICU‑2.3.1‑cp35‑cp35m‑win32.whl
PyICU‑2.3.1‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
PyICU‑2.3.1‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl
PyICU‑2.3.1‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
PyICU‑2.3.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl
PyICU‑2.3.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

    the 27 means Python 2.7 and the 36 Python 3.6... If you have 64 bits python and windows then choose the amd64 otherwise the win32 version.

    Once you have download them you will need to install it using pip in your python environment:

    In my case:

    python -m pip install C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\pycld2-0.31-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl 
python -m pip install C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\PyICU-2.3.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
