Hi, just wanted to note that python is now encouraging users to download (by default) the 64-bit version for Windows. Since the default golly download for Windows is the 32-bit version, they're incompatible. I was able to resolve this with a few minutes of searching, but my student, a CS major in his senior year of college, could not. The simple expedient of renaming your download package to reflect the fact that it's 32-bit, as you note on the 64-bit version, would clear up most potential confusion, although that's just a suggestion.
