# ERROR: mypackage-1.0-py3-none-any.whl is not a valid wheel filename.

- **ID:** `python/pip-invalid-wheel-name`
- **Domain:** python
- **Category:** data_error
- **Verification:** ai_generated
- **Fix Rate:** 80%

## Root Cause

The wheel file name does not follow the PEP 427 naming convention, often due to incorrect versioning or platform tags.

## Version Compatibility

| Version | Status | Introduced | Deprecated |
|---------|--------|------------|------------|
| 3.8 | active | — | — |
| 3.9 | active | — | — |
| 3.10 | active | — | — |
| 3.11 | active | — | — |
| 3.12 | active | — | — |

## Workarounds

1. **Rebuild the wheel with correct naming** (90% success)
   ```
   python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal
   ```
2. **Manually correct the filename per PEP 427** (85% success)
   ```
   Rename to 'mypackage-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl' (ensure version is in X.Y.Z format)
   ```

## Dead Ends

- **Renaming the file to a random name** — pip validates the structure; a random name will still fail. (90% fail)
- **Using --no-index flag** — This does not bypass filename validation. (80% fail)
