New issue 508: install fails on 64-bit Python 2.5 on Windows due to colorama issues https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/pytest/issue/508/install-fails-on-64-bit-python-25-on
Jurko Gospodnetić: ``colorama`` 0.3.0 made a ``pyreadline`` compatibility realted bug-fix that broke 64-bit Python 2.5 support on Windows. The issue has already been reported to the colorama project [here](https://code.google.com/p/colorama/issues/detail?id=56). Also, ``colorama`` 0.3.1 accidentally broke general Python 2.5 compatibility by a change in its setup.py. The issue has since been fixed in their development repo but this particular version is still broken (and is the currently installed one by default). I would suggest changing pytest requirements to ``colorama<0.3.dev0`` when installing into a Python 2.5/Windows environment. Later on, when and if colorama fixes the underlying issues, that can again be changed to ``colorama`` on all platforms except 64-bit Python 2.5/Windows where it should be ``colorama!=0.3.1``.
