Hi John, I've no idea, why you're dragging this thread into a private discussion. Helping others is always a community effort, and keeping it public allows others to keep in context... If you ask me, I prefer to receive anything via the list, and not a personal copy, but who's asking me?

Darren pointed out an important detail: you might suffer from 32/64 bit issues. I suggest, you start over from the beginning: Note, that the article doesn't even mention 64 bit environments. Use the current versions of any part (you might resort to Python 2.6/2.7 rather than to 3.*), and try to check the outcome of each step.
