here is the package there is no source or binary available to download.

a module (pyclustering) with similar name.

The Python Package Index (PYPI) is a repository of software for the Python programming language.

One can download packages manually or using pip install

One can upload binary and source packages as well.

For example this package has a source and some binaries as well

Python Wheels and Python Eggs are ease to install, mostly used on windows.

However manual install can be done using MS Windows installer files downloaded directly form PYPI

Had a similar situation installing this Pycluster package

pip was trying to build the package because there were no official wheels for Python 3.5 & windows.

Solved it by downloading an unofficial wheel from here:

https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pycluster

There are many wheel files on this website.

Try different versions to see whichever works the best for you.

You can install the .whl file this way using Anaconda Prompt with the following code

pip install Pycluster-1.56-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

install with pip: pip3 install pyclustering

it even works with Anaconda prompt
