Well, as embarrassing as it is, you're right, I had 32-bit python. I had it for a while and for some reason I assumed I'd have 64-bit version, but it actually installs 32-bit if you take what they giv...

The links in that innocent thread don't seem to work anymore (i.e. they now point to something else). I'm guessing there's a time limit on how long URL's can be redirected. Were there OCRed study ma...
