A whl is a python wheel archive. It's a packaging format for python to be
able to distribute and manage them (successor to eggs). The other file is a
gzipped tar archive of the source code. Both of them exist on pypi so that
the pip tool can find them and install them.

If you are following a python training tutorial for Maya then you are most
likely going to be concerned with python 2.7 (pip). If you are doing a more
modern standalone tutorial then it may be using Python3 (pip3). Pip
installs the packaged to the associated system python.

When you say "nothing happens" does that mean you see no output, or that
the end result is that you still can't use the new module? If you were to
extract that tar file you would have access to the source python code.
