I will take a look next week. In the meantime could you please

1. Report here what errors you get when you try to install using pip
2. Try installing directly from the wheel's URL: pip install https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/9b/17/0fdbfda9a1102138a0ea50896c52bf8be8fbf873375e0744eeaf2b909bd9/monetdblite-0.6.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

I just ran the given pip install command and it gives following error:
ERROR: monetdblite-0.6.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Hm, I see. Is the windows you are running the 64 or the 32 bit version?

[ssi-bilal]

64bit

OK, I will try to reproduce the issue and I will get back to you. Could you also paste the output of the following commands
pip --version
python --version
and
python -c "import struct; print(8*struct.calcsize('P'))"

Thanks!

C:>pip --version
pip 19.1.1 from c:\users\bilal.ahmed\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)

C:>python --version
Python 3.7.3

C:>python -c "import struct; print(8*struct.calcsize('P'))"
32

The problem was that the Python was a 32-bit installation. pip install monetdblite works correctly with 64-bit Python.
