This is probably not going to work, but have you tried just pip install ... (instead of pip3)?

Yeah I tried. Same result. Also I tried all the whls (cpu, cuda 8 etc.), tried CMD instead of PS, none of them work.

Are you on 32-bit windows?

5

Nope. Win 10 64-bit.

Edit: got the same problem on another Win 7 x64 computer.

It may be your Python is 32-bit.

Ah, that’s why.

For some reason it doesn’t cross my mind that I need Python 64-bit.

Thanks and solved!
