“win32” is the name given to the Windows API as of Windows NT 3.1 and Windows 95. The “AMD64” part in parentheses tells the truth, that you’re actually running the 64-bit version (which can cause problems, though — it’s better to use the 32-bit version, IMO) -- Chris “Kwpolska” Warrick <http://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 stop html mail | always bottom-post | only UTF-8 makes sense -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
