=C2=A0 =C2=A0 In a Windows 7 environment (even a 64-bit Windows 7 environme= nt), you
must install the 32-bit version of Python 3. The 64-bit version will not work with NumPy 1.6.
1.7 is the current version. I use= 32-bit Python myself.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Furthermore, the 32-bit version of Python 3 must be installed= 'just
for me', and not 'for everyone on this computer'.
Nonsense.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Finally, make sure you select the proper NumPy version (for P= ython
3.2), not the default version from SourceForge (which is for Python 2.6).

In this post I'm assuming you have already installed Python 3 and that<= br> you're running Windows 7. Specifically, I'm running Windows 7
Professional, 64-bit, Service Pack 1. What follows is the whole story of the troubleshooting, in case it helps out anyone else having the same
issues.
etc.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium
=


http://do= cs.python.org/3.2/install/
More alternatives than an encyclopedia!
See no reference to Win 7.
This is NO help
I'm not aware of any peculiarities= due to use of Win 7 (except it's not Linux)

h= ttp://www.python.org/getit/releases/3.2.3/
got
Gzipped source tar ball (3.2.3) (sig), ~ 13 MB
which was a file:
Python-3.2.3.tgz
Download the Windows executables.
...

I'm a total novice - my last program writing was 35+ years ago. =C2=A0M= y reason
for wanting Python is purely for fun an recreation. =C2=A0I used to just lo= ve
code writing.

Questions:
1. =C2=A0is 3.2.3 the correct version for me? =C2=A0On April 6 I see that a= dditional
releases will become available. =C2=A0I see value in having the latest stab= le
programs. =C2=A0Is any of this for me - I can wait 5 days?
=
3.3.0 is the current version

2. =C2=A0Would it make sense to install Python on the D: drive or will that=
just further confuse matters?
It shouldn't hurt an= ything but why would you want to?
