installer for amd64 build of python?
Hi, Does anyone know of an available downloader for an amd64 bit build of (a modern) python? I've done my due diligence search of python docs and mailing archives, and I'm somewhat mystified by the lack of info on this topic. I'm embedding python in a native 64 bit application so python32 using WOW64 is not an option for me. Alternatively, does anyone have experience of using the visual studio files in the PCBuild directory under amd64? Any pointers appreciated, Cheers Mike --- Dr Mike Steel Senior Scientist RSoft Design Group www.rsoftdesign.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes I carefully checked my message twice and completely missed the fact that I left out the magic words Windows x64. (d'uh me.) As you say, for my linux 64 builds, it works perfectly out of the box.

Fair enough. I wasn't complaining about the lack of an official build. Just surprised that I couldn't find reports on attempts at unofficial builds. Thanks for the tips re VS2005.
