Re: [Quickfix-developers] install Quickfix FIX engine on windows, use python API to build a client/buy-side

[Zhangjianyue <zj...@16...>]

Hi, 


Perhaps module wheel is not installed in your system.
Try to do as following:
1. Download the whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
  search wheel
2. Enter pip document:
pip install *.whl
3. Reinstall quickfix py.


It may help you, and good luck.
Cheers.
Johnson
