IIRC that's the correct way, just take make sure to point to the correct python.exe if you have both 32- and 64-bit versions installed on the same machine. There are also unofficial windows binaries (both 32- and 64-bit) available[1] if the above steps don't work. [1] http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ -- matevz
