Solution 1:

You have an outdated pip which does not understand wheels. Wheels are not even supposed to have a setup.py inside.

Try upgrading pip with pip install --upgrade pip and then running the command again.

Solution 2:

Well, I didn't fix pip but I found out that if I use 7zip to open/unpack the wheel file and drag drop the 2 folders in it into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages that it works!
