Not that I understand (or want to) what the installer does but it seemed plausible at the time. I arrived here http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#id8 from the sphinx page, there seems to be only a link to one (presumably 32 bit only) installer for each 2.x python :( Spelunking around in http://pypi.python.org/packages/ <http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.6/> didn't get me anywhere either (looking in the 2.6 or 2.7 dirs) Didn't see any "not-so-easy how to build/install this on x64" notes either. Can someone point me to that if there is such a thing? If there is no such thing can someone please let me out of my misery? thanks, - James
