I would like to install scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl that I have saved to local drive. I am using:

pip 6.0.8 from C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
python 2.7.9 (default, Dec 10 2014, 12:28:03) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

when I run:

pip install scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl

I get the following error:

scipy-0.15.1-cp33-none-win_amd64.whl is not supported wheel on this platform

I would like to know what the problem is?

cp33 means CPython 3.3 you need scipy‑0.15.1‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl instead.
