Wheel files : What is the meaning of “none-any” in protobuf-3.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Let’s split package names by components:

  • numpy — package name
  • 1.13.3 — package version
  • cp27 — the package was compiled to be used with this version of Python
  • cp27mu — compilation flags
  • linux — operating system
  • armv7l — processor architecture

This means that package numpy contains binary extensions written in C and compiled for specific processor, OS and Python version.

The following package is pure Python:

  • protobuf — name
  • 3.4.0 — version
  • py2.py3 — the package is written in highly portable manner and is suitable for both major versions of Python
  • none — is not OS-specific
  • any — suitable to run on any processor architecture
