You should just download the Windows installer from the Downloads tab. I would recommend version 1.10 since it should be faster and fixes some bugs in 1.04. The direct link is http://gmpy.googlecode.com/files/gmpy-1.10-beta.win32-py2.6.exe Just run the installer and it should automatically detect your existing Python installation. The executable is small. ;-) casevh p.s. If you're using a 64-bit Windows system, let me know and I'll step you through the manual process. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
