I have searched the forum and found some related questions, but seems no easy-to-understand answers to me.
I have come to https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads but it only provides 32-bit installer. I am on a 64-bit Win7, which is already installed Python 3.3.2. How can I install Pygame in this case? Thanks.
This site contains non-official binaries of many Python packages for 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows, and it is also mentioned in the downloads section of Pygame.org. The downloads for Pygame are here.

Good Morning,
I am not understanding the tutorials that are online for installing PyGame. does anyone know of website that has an .exe file that I just click on and it will do all the installation for me? Any help is appreciated, I have spent all morning just trying to get the pygame into python :( * Note I would be willing to uninstall python and start from scratch if that is a good idea.
Thank you
You can get the latest version of PyGame from their downloads page:
http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml
This lists downloads for all platforms, including Windows installer (.msi) packages. Just download the version you need and double-click to run it (note that they currently recommend using a 32-bit Python installation for compatibility if you are on 64-bit Windows).
Alternatively, you can install the Wheel package for PyGame using the pip package manager, which will also make updating PyGame easier in the future. Installation using this method is also described on the above page, and a link to the package on PyPI is located here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygame/1.9.3
Is there any way to launch a Python3 / GTK3 based application on a Windows machine? It seems that this is not that simple as with GTK2/Python2.
Thanks a lot,
Thomas
I hope, i understand the question. You Need a actual runtime of gtk3 on Windows.
inofficial gtk3.14.13 64bit-Runtime, 32bit here not available,
see:
https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer
win32 and win64: experimental official runtime 3.6.4 in http://www.gtk.org/download/index.php
is very Alpha or beta.
I hope this helps enough for gtk3.
As far as I know, there are still no official GTK3 or GObject-Introspection libraries for Windows, and so there are no python bindings.
I'm assuming you want the development kit. Windows version has indeed been missing for a long time, but there's some available now.
Going to official site and finding https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject, you can find a link to "Windows installers" which should lead to a rather massive all-in-one installer for Gtk3 and many related libraries for Python 3. You can load a current cpython from https://www.python.org/downloads/ and install that first.
For windows, there's also a lot of unofficial pre-built packages in http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/. Cpython 3.4 at least seems to include a functional pip for installing wheels.
I've made some use of these for running some python and matplotlib code 64-bit windows and they work rather nicely with 64-bit python 3.4. You can test with e.g. http://gtk3-matplotlib-cookbook.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ to find backend settings and other tips.
I am trying to install biopython to run with Python 3.3 on a Windows7 computer.
I have downloaded the biopython executable biopython-1.61.win32-py3.3-beta.exe. When I attempt to run the executable, however, I get the message "Python version 3.3 is required, which is not found in the registry." Python version 3.3 is present on my computer. I have been running programs through it for a month or two. It was installed from the file python-3.3.0.amd64.msi, and is located in the Program Files (x86) directory.I have tried reinstalling Python 3.3 but get the same error message.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Python.org provides Windows installers in two flavours, 32 bit ("win32") and 64 bit ("amd64"). You need matching library installers for your Python version. You are trying to use a 32 bit Biopython installer with a 64 bit Python.
As instructed here http://biopython.org/wiki/Download there are experimental 64 bit Windows installers for Biopython, NumPy, etc here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
Or, you can install the 32-bit version of Python 3.3 for Windows, and then use biopython-1.61.win32-py3.3-beta.exe
You can try to solve this problem by fixing a blank option in the Windows registry.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/11507968/3962648 provide details of similar issue when installing numpy.
In short, you can just run the windows command line and type in: "reg copy HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python /s"
probelm is windows 64bit and biopython 32bit...
to get the 64bit version of biopython get this one:

For some reason my 64 bit EPD can't import wx.
I also tried to install the wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-py2.7 version from the wx site.
It installed successfully, but is no where to be found on my harddrive.
I checked the sitepackes for 2.7 and the EPD 7.2.2. where all the modules usually should be installed.
I am confused.
This raises a similar question.
How can I install modules that are not part of EPD ?
I also didn't have luck to install other modules.
And every time I try to import older modules it doesn't work as well.
Often I get error message that architectures in universal rapper is wrong.
For example pygame doesn’t have a 64 bit version that works with 2.7, so I installed the 32 bit version.
If I try to do the trick arch -i386 /Path to python , I get "Bad CPU type in executable".
I am running a 64bit version of Python on a 64 bit Mac OS.
I wonder if the Enthougt 7.2 is equivalent with the 2.7 Python.
And if not, what I assume, what the differences are.
Any hints who can solve this, would be awesome.
Thanks for your patients.
I had the same problem. The only way around it that has worked for me is to uninstall your EPD version ($ sudo remove-EPD-7.2-1, or whichever version you have) and reinstall the 32 bit version. Wx comes as part of the EPD package, so once you have downloaded the 32 bit version there is no need to download and install wx.
Like the subject says: Does the latest stable pygame release work with python2.7?
I've got both versions installed on my OSX Snow Leopard, but import pygame only works on python2.6 - That's the official distro which is 2.6.6, not the pre-installed one which is 2.6.1).
And if it does work, how can I make it work on my machine? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
My guess is that you installed it for 2.6 and so it is residing in 2.6's library directory. Install it in 2.7's library directory and you should be good to go. I don't know OSX so I can't help with the details but a little bit of googling shouldn't be too hard. The problem is that the two python installations have distinct import paths.
