The problem there isn't "on win32", it's ".4" :). Unless I've just missed the announcement PyScripter has not been updated to support Python 3.4, and I haven't figured out a way to trick it into working. However, PyScripter works fine with Python 3.3, and there were no syntax changes between 3.3 and 3.4. What I have found to work fairly well is to use PyScripter with 3.3, then test your program from a command prompt with 3.4. For the record, all versions of CPython on Windows (not counting anything relating to cygwin) are "on win32" regardless of the bittedness of the processor or the interpreter.
