Root Cause

The wheel filename does not conform to PEP 427 naming convention, e.g., missing or malformed tags.

generic

中文

wheel 文件名不符合 PEP 427 命名约定，例如缺少或格式错误的标签。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success Rename the wheel file correctly 
    Ensure filename is like 'mypackage-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl' (correct: mypackage-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl is actually valid; the error is about missing platform tag, but 'any' is a valid platform. If error persists, check tags.)
  2. 95% success Rebuild the wheel with proper metadata 
    Run: python setup.py bdist_wheel (ensures correct naming).

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Renaming the file to remove the platform tag 90% fail

    Makes the filename even more invalid.

  2. Using a different compression format like tar.gz 80% fail

    Pip expects .whl files for wheels.
