Install PyOpenGL with pip with wheel and WHL file .

This is a old tutorial I wrote about how to install python on windows 8.1 with distribute, pip, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper-powershell.
Now I will show you how to deal with WHL files and pip wheel.
First you need to install pip under your python folder.
I used in this case Python 2.7 version.
The WHL file and wheel is a ZIP-format archive with a specially formatted filename and the .whl extension.
You can use this :

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7 install wheel
Collecting wheel
  Downloading wheel-0.24.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (63kB)
    100% |################################| 65kB 682kB/s ta 0:00:011
Installing collected packages: wheel

Successfully installed wheel-0.24.0

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7 install --upgrade pip
Collecting pip from https://pypi.python.org/packages/py2.py3/p/pip/pip-6.0.8-py2
.py3-none-any.whl#md5=41e73fae2c86ba2270ff51c1d86f7e09
  Downloading pip-6.0.8-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.3MB)
    100% |################################| 1.3MB 952kB/s ta 0:00:01

This will install wheel and update the pip2.7 .
For example, just use next command to install OpenGL python module.

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7 install PyOpenGL
Collecting PyOpenGL
  Downloading PyOpenGL-3.1.0.tar.gz (1.2MB)
    100% |################################| 1.2MB 2.2MB/s ta 0:00:01
Installing collected packages: PyOpenGL
  Running setup.py install for PyOpenGL
Successfully installed PyOpenGL-3.1.0

Also pygame whl working with pip2.7.
I download it from pygame website, from here. Download your version of WHL file ( amd64 is for CPU 64 bits) and your python version (cpxx). Now use this command:

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip2.7.exe install "C:\Downloads\pygame-1.9.2a
0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl"
...
Installing collected packages: pygame
  Found existing installation: pygame 1.9.1
    DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (pygame) has been de
precated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that u
ninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
    Uninstalling pygame-1.9.1:
      Successfully uninstalled pygame-1.9.1

Successfully installed pygame-1.9.2a0

I try it with python 3.4 and working very well.
First I download it from here.
I install it and I set it to working.

I wrote a simple python 3.4 script and then I press F5 key - Run from Notepad++.

import os 
import sys 
print ("this is notepad test - python run")

I put this in this window to run it python 3.4 : C:\Python34\Lib\idlelib\idle.bat "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Also I press save button and select Ctr+Alt+P to run the scripts with hotkeys. This can be see it under Run menu.
When I press it then a python window with your script will show us and just you need is to press F5 key to run it.
