I am one of those struggling with compile issues with python on 64 bit windows. I have not been able to get the solutions mentioned on Stack Overflow to work because installing Windows SDK 7.1 fails for me.
So I stumbled across a precompiled psycopg2, and that reported that it worked, but then I got two permission errors. Then I read that this was a bug in python (issue 14252) that had been fixed, but I don't think this is the same error. That one specifically refers to subprocess.py and I don't have that in my traceback. I have v3.4.2. On top of everything else, despite requesting a new password, all I get from the big tracker is 'invalid login'. In any event, running "import psycopg2" returns 'import error, no module named psycopg2'. Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600] (c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
