Hi Jeffrey,

To be honest I'm not sure if pycapnp works on Windows at all. I don't think
anyone has tried that.

Cap'n Proto's C++ implementation supports both Win32 and Win64. The
pre-built binary available for download on capnproto.org is just the code
generator tool -- a tool you'd normally run at compile time (for a C++
app). It's a 32-bit binary, but that's irrelevant -- it generates code
which is identical on all platforms, so the same tool can be used in 32-bit
and 64-bit builds.

pycanpn builds on the C++ Cap'n Proto implementation and makes it available
from Python. In theory, because the C++ implementation now supports Windows
and MSVC, it should be possible to build pycapnp on Windows (whether 32-bit
or 64-bit) -- but since I don't think anyone has tried it yet, there will
probably be a number of small problems you'll need to fix along the way.
