'module 'pip' has no attribute 'pep425tags'

When I am trying to install .whl with pip

it said:

... is not a supported wheel on this platform

to solve this problem, I searched the Internet and it said I can input this into repl

import pip; print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported())

with this I can see the tags and versions that pip supports

However, when I input this code, it said:

AttributeError: module 'pip' has no attribute 'pep425tags'

What's wrong?

(pip 10.0.1 on python 3.6)

Solution 1:^[1]

If the goal is simply to get the list of compatible tags, then with current versions of pip (for example 20.0.2):

$ path/to/pythonX.Y -m pip debug --verbose

Solution 2:^[2]

This worked for me with Python 2.7 (in a virtualenv using that version):

import wheel.pep425tags

print(wheel.pep425tags.get_supported())

Solution 3:^[3]

For pip v10 use this:

import pip._internal; print(pip._internal.pep425tags.get_supported())

Solution 4:^[4]

Using Python 3.6.8 and pip 19.1.1

python -c "import wheel.pep425tags as w print(w.get_supported())"

worked!

Output:

[('cp36', 'cp36m', 'win_amd64'), ('cp36', 'none', 'win_amd64'), ('cp36', 'none', 'any'), ('cp3', 'none', 'any'), ('cp35', 'none', 'any'), ('cp34', 'none', 'any'), ('cp33', 'none', 'any'), ('cp32', 'none', 'any'), ('cp31', 'none', 'any'), ('cp30', 'none', 'any'), ('py3', 'none', 'win_amd64'), ('py36', 'none', 'any'), ('py3', 'none', 'any'), ('py35', 'none', 'any'), ('py34', 'none', 'any'), ('py33', 'none', 'any'), ('py32', 'none', 'any'), ('py31', 'none', 'any'), ('py30', 'none', 'any')]

The main issue is that pep425tags was an internal thing from the wheel module. I believe it was never meant to be used like that and it was always subject to change. Facing this problem myself just now I noticed that wheel==0.34.1 has pep425tags while wheel==0.35.0 does not.

So if you really want to use this module, make sure to pip3 install wheel==0.34.1.

I have several versions of Python in my GNU-Linux machine and this causes some problems for me. Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.6, ...

Too messy! I know. :)

Each time I used python3 and run this code:

import wheel.pep425tags
print(wheel.pep425tags.get_supported())

As yours, I confronted with this error too:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pep425tags'

By surfing inside stackoverflow I noticed some problems as below that may help you:

It's important to know your pip or pip3 is set to which version of Pythons: My mine, pip is set to python 2.7 and pip3 is also set to python 3.6.

First of all, check the version of your pip or pip3:

pip -V

pip3 -V

As I use pip3 so it results:

pip 20.0.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

This shows that my pip3 uses python3.6 and this causes me straightly go inside the python3.6 console. In this case it works and results:

[('cp36', 'cp36m', 'linux_x86_64'), ('cp36', 'abi3', 'linux_x86_64'), ('cp36', 'none', 'linux_x86_64'), ('cp35', 'abi3', 'linux_x86_64'), ('cp34', 'abi3', 'linux_x86_64'), ('cp36', 'none', 'any'), ('cp3', 'none', 'any'), ('cp35', 'none', 'any'), ('cp34', 'none', 'any'), ('cp33', 'none', 'any'), ...]

I hope these steps works for you.

I also have this problem. But I made a mistake following the previous approach. enter image description hereTypeError: get_supported() missing 1 required positional argument: 'archive_root' ,The solution is to add parameter win_amd64 in get_supported().

import wheel.pep425tags as w
print(w.get_supported("win_amd64")

Solution 8:^[8]

Try this, if you have a new version of pip and you just want the result of get_supported function call:

python -c "from pip._internal.utils.compatibility_tags import get_supported; print(get_supported())"

Solution 9:^[9]

THIS INFO IS OUTDATED

A bash one-liner, good for both Py2.7 & Py3.6 with pip-18.1:

python3 -c "import wheel.pep425tags as w; print(w.get_supported())" |sed -zE 's/\),/),\n/g'

Solution 10:^[10]

AMD64

import pip._internal;print(pip._internal.pep425tags.get_supported())

WIN32

import pip;print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported())

then pip install <.whl> by corresponding platform wheel(https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/)
