pip install E:\matplotlib-1.3.1.win32-py2.7.exe Got error, below is log: E:\Portable Python 2.7.5.1\App\Scripts\pip run on 03/17/14 03:10:16 Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\Portable Python 2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\pip\basecommand.py", line 122, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "E:\Portable Python 2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\pip\commands\install.py", line 257, in run InstallRequirement.from_line(name, None)) File "E:\Portable Python 2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\pip\req.py", line 172, in from_line return cls(req, comes_from, url=url, prereleases=prereleases) File "E:\Portable Python 2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\pip\req.py", line 70, in __init__ req = pkg_resources.Requirement.parse(req) File "E:\Portable Python 2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\pkg_resources.py", line 2606, in parse reqs = list(parse_requirements(s)) File "E:\Portable Python 2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\pkg_resources.py", line 2544, in parse_requirements line, p, specs = scan_list(VERSION,LINE_END,line,p,(1,2),"version spec") File "E:\Portable Python 2.7.5.1\App\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\pkg_resources.py", line 2512, in scan_list raise ValueError("Expected "+item_name+" in",line,"at",line[p:]) ValueError: ('Expected version spec in', 'E:\\matplotlib-1.3.1.win32-py2.7.exe', 'at', ':\\matplotlib-1.3.1.win32-py2.7.exe') What is the problem and how to solve it?
