Or the Python uninstaller should also uninstall the launcher first. But one other oddity. For reasons I don't quite follow, the page https://www.python.org/downloads/ downloads the 32-bit version of Python, which is what I first installed without knowing any better. Then I noticed that the installation had (32-bit) in it, poked around a bit and found the 64-bit version. When I installed that the launcher still said (32-bit). Possible bug here, and certainly a very misleading web page? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
