Can't download any python Windows modules and install. I wanted to experiment with scrapy framework and stackless but unable to install due to error "Python version 2.6 required, which was not found in the registry".
Trying to install it to
Windows 7, 64 bit machine
It appears there are a lot of Python utilities which don't work on 64-bit Windows 7, as it's still a very new platform. So you may fequently find yourself on the cutting edge, which is not a comfortable place for someone who describes themselves as a beginner.
For instance, Valentine Gogichashvili discusses a potential solution here but do you know enough Python to understand what it's doing?
