There is no reason in this case to install the VC++ redistributable package. Python is written in C, so it only needs the C runtime, which is now an OS component. I provided a link for the updated download for the Universal C Runtime, KB3118401. The above Stack Overflow answer mentions KB2999226, which is the old, outdated update from well over a year ago. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
