IMDbPY 3.4 installs fine on Python 2.5 x86 on Windows. It's just 3.5 that
doesn't. How and why is this difference?

The .exe package was created by me, for Python 2.4.
Why that and not 2.5? Because I've set up only Python 2.4 to compile
with gcc/cygwin.
I have Python 2.5 for windows installed, but it requires something
like MS Visual C to compile C extensions.
Unfortunately I've very limited time to follow all the steps required
to use cygwin with Python 2.5 on Windows.
Maybe I'll check if things are easier now: years ago, it was a
quite long process. :-/
Oh, by the way: you're using x64 and my package is for i386, so
the C module will probably explode anyway, on your system. :-)
Best solution for you: download the .tar.gz package, unpack it
(7-zip will handle .tgz nicely), open a command prompt, move in
the directory and run:
C:\Python2.5\python.exe setup.py install
If you don't have a working environment for compiling C extensions
installed, it will complains. In this case, sql and local data
access systems will be really slow; http and mobile will work
as usual.
Sorry: I don't have other solution; maybe someone out these can
create some Windows packages for Python 2.5 i386 and x64.
HTH,
