ERROR: pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform

I am trying to make a keylogger in Python that requires pyHook module. I tried pip install pyHook but it did not work.

So, I downloaded this package from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/ -

pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

Then I tried to install it using:

pip install pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

But is shows the error given in heading.

I even downloaded this package from same site - pyHook‑1.5.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl

But none of them works. So what should I do? Please help.

My system is 64-bit and I use Python 3.8.

Solution

  • That happens because you are using python 3.8, and you need to install python 3.7 to run the pyhook library.

    Try to uninstall your version 38 then install python 3.74, and finally run your command

    pip install pyHook-1.5.1-cp**37**-cp**37**m-win_amd64.whl
