I am now trying o install the binary version, 64 bit, of Python 3.4.4 from Python.org. I get the message: Python 3.4.4 (64 bit) There is a problem with the Windows [10] Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Colin W. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
