Yes, I downloaded the 3.2 version but on 64-bit. None of the 32-bit Python programs I've installed have worked. 

VPython didn't install a VIDLE icon on my desktop. An earlier version did, but then it said it couldn't find the .exe file to work!

I've sent a message to the VPython groups. I'm looking forward to using this program, when it finally works!

Thanks again,

Peter
